PAR PETROLEUM CORPORATION FORM 10-K/A

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Par Petroleum Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”) is filing this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment No. 2”) to amend its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2014, and amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 29, 2014 (collectively, the “Original Form 10-K”), to correct an $8.6 million understatement of its cost of revenues and net loss ($0.44 per common share) for the year ended December 31, 2013 due to miscalculating its crude inventory volumes on hand as of December 31, 2013. See the Introductory Note to the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-9 for additional information.

As a result of the miscalculation and resulting understatement, the Company’s management reassessed its evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. As a result of that assessment, management identified additional control deficiencies that constituted an additional material weakness and, accordingly, has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. For a description of the material weaknesses identified by management and management’s plan to remediate the material weaknesses, see “Item 9A - Controls and Procedures.”

In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the following items of the Original Form 10-K are hereby amended and restated in their entirety:

 

Item 7.

   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Item 8.

   Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

Item 9A.

   Controls and Procedures

This Amendment No. 2 does not amend or otherwise update any other information in the Original Form 10-K. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 2 should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and with our subsequent filings with the SEC. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Form 10-K. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are providing currently dated certifications in connection with this Amendment No. 2; the certifications are filed as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1 and 32.2.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As disclosed in the Explanatory Note to this Amendment No. 2 and in the Introductory Note to our consolidated financial statements, we have restated our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 for a miscalculation of our crude inventory volumes on hand as of December 31, 2013. We determine our inventory and our obligations under supply and exchange agreements based on physical inventory observations each reporting period. During May 2014, we determined that we did not appropriately consider an adjustment to the measurements taken during the physical inventory observation that occurred on December 31, 2013. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations have been revised to reflect the effects of the restatement.

Overview

We emerged from the bankruptcy of Delta Petroleum in August 2012. The reorganization converted approximately $265 million of unsecured debt to equity and allowed us to preserve significant tax attributes. As required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles we adopted fresh-start reporting as of the Emergence Date, resulting in us becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. See “- Reorganization under Chapter 11” and “- Fresh-Start Reporting and the Effects of the Plan”.

We currently operate in three segments:

 

    refining, distribution and marketing;

 

    natural gas and oil operations; and

 

    commodity marketing and logistics

Our refining, distribution and marketing segment owns and operates a refinery rated at 94,000 barrels per day of throughput capacity in Kapolei, Hawaii, 2.4 million barrels of crude oil and feedstock storage and 2.5 million barrels of refined product storage. The refinery produces ultra-low sulfur diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, marine fuel and other associated refined products primarily for consumption in Hawaii. Our refinery logistics assets include five refined products terminals, 27 miles of pipelines, a single point mooring and other associated logistics assets. In addition, we distribute our products through 31 retail outlets located across the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii. Results of operations in our refinery segment depend on favorable “crack spreads”, or the difference between the price we pay for crude oil, sourced internationally, and the prices we receive for our refined products, which are primarily determined by the local Hawaii market.

Our natural gas and oil assets are non-operated and are concentrated in our 33.34% ownership of Piceance Energy, a joint venture entity operated by Laramie and focused on producing natural gas in Garfield and Mesa Counties, Colorado. The estimated value of Piceance Energy’s estimated proved reserves was $89.3 million at December 31, 2013. In addition, we own non-operating interests in Colorado and offshore California, and an overriding royalty interest in New Mexico. We estimate the value of estimated proved reserves for these additional properties to be approximately $3.5 million at December 31, 2013. Our interests are heavily weighted towards natural gas and natural gas liquids.

Our commodity marketing and logistics segment focuses on sourcing, transporting, marketing and distributing crude oil from Canada and the Western U.S. to refining hubs in the Midwest, Gulf Coast and East Coast regions of the U.S. Our logistics capabilities consist of historical pipeline shipping status (giving us assured pipeline access) a leased rail car fleet and experience in contracted chartering of tugs and barges. We contract to provide logistics services for others and trade for our own account. Our success primarily depends on favorable spreads between the discounted crudes available from the Western U.S. and Canada and the prices we receive from our customers.

Due to significant acquisitions in December 2012 and September 2013 and our emergence from bankruptcy in August 2012, our consolidated results of operations for any period after December 31, 2013 will not be comparable to any prior period. We will continue to recognize our proportional share of the earnings or losses of Piceance Energy, which will be driven by drilling results and market prices. We will also continue to reflect results of operations of our commodity marketing and logistics segment, which will be dependent primarily on marketing and transportation revenues and will be driven by price differentials along the crude oil supply chain. However, we anticipate our future results of operations, capital and liquidity positions and the overall success of our business will depend, in large part, on the results of our refinery segment. Crack spreads will be the primary driver of the refinery’s results of operations and therefore, of our own profitability.

Contributors to 2013 Results

Results of operations for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2013 reflect the acquisition, integration and operation of HIE which we acquired on September 25, 2013. Our gross margin was impacted by our out of cycle feedstock purchases during the refinery start up, exacerbated by tensions in Libya and Syria. The majority of the feedstocks consumed during the fourth quarter were procured during the refinery start up in order to restock the supply chain before the closing of the acquisition. Market crack spreads (or the margin between the price paid for crude oil and the price received for refined products) declined in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 and the third quarter of 2013. We believe our refinery’s economics reflect components of both Singapore and West Coast refineries. Average crack spreads for the Singapore and San Francisco markets declined $1.07 and $4.17 per barrel, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2013 from the fourth quarter of 2012, in each case using a Brent 4:1:2:1 index (or one part gasoline, two parts distillate and one part fuel oil). In addition, since the acquisition, we have relied heavily on third party service providers as well as a transition services agreement with the former owner as we build internal infrastructure, contributing to elevated general and administrative expenses.

We believe that our efforts to rationalize the sourcing of our crude oil should improve our margins and that reducing our dependence on third party service providers as well as the transition services agreement should lower relative general and administrative expenses.

Reorganization under Chapter 11

In December 2011 and January 2012, Delta and its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Delta and its subsidiaries included in the bankruptcy petitions are collectively referred to as the “Debtors.”

In March 2012, the Debtors obtained approval from the bankruptcy court to proceed with Laramie Energy II, LLC (“Laramie”) as the sponsor of a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). In June 2012, Delta entered into a contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with a new joint venture formed by Delta, Laramie and Piceance Energy LLC (“Piceance Energy”) to effect the transactions contemplated by Plan.

On August 31, 2012 (the “Emergence Date”), Delta consummated the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement and each of Delta and Laramie contributed to Piceance Energy their respective natural gas and oil assets in the Piceance Basin. Piceance Energy is owned 66.66% by Laramie and 33.34% by Delta.

At the closing, Piceance Energy entered into a new credit agreement, borrowed $100 million under that agreement, and distributed approximately $72.6 million net of settlements to the company and approximately $24.9 million to Laramie. The company used its distribution to pay bankruptcy expenses and to repay secured debt. The company also entered into a new credit facility and borrowed $13 million under that facility at closing, and used those funds primarily to pay bankruptcy claims and expenses.

Following the reorganization, the company retained its interest in the Point Arguello Unit offshore California and other miscellaneous assets and certain tax attributes, including significant net operating loss carryforwards. Based upon the Plan as confirmed by the bankruptcy court, Delta’s creditors were issued approximately 14.8 million shares of common stock, and Delta’s former stockholders received no consideration under the Plan.

On the Emergence Date, Delta also amended and restated its certificate of incorporation and bylaws and changed its name to “Par Petroleum Corporation.” The amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains restrictions that render void certain transfers of our stock that involve a holder of five percent or more of our shares. The purpose of this provision is to preserve certain of our tax attributes that we believe may have value.

Fresh-Start Reporting and the Effects of the Plan

As required by U.S. GAAP, effective as of August 31, 2012, Par adopted fresh-start reporting because (i) holders of voting shares immediately before confirmation of the Plan received less than 50% of the emerging entity and (ii) the reorganization value of

Table of Contents

our assets immediately before confirmation of the Plan was less than our post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. Fresh-start reporting results in a new basis of accounting and reflects the allocation of our estimated fair value to underlying assets and liabilities. Fresh-start reporting results in us becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to August 31, 2012 reflect the operations of Delta prior to reorganization (hereinafter also referred to as the “Predecessor”) and are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements presented on or after August 31, 2012. Accordingly, certain disclosures relating to the Predecessor’s financial statements for the eight months ended August 31, 2012 have been omitted.

Results of Operations

Successor year ended December 31, 2013 compared to Successor four months ended December 31, 2012 and Predecessor eight months ended August 31, 2012

The 2013 and 2012 periods lack comparability due to the application of fresh-start accounting effective August 31, 2012, the contribution of the majority of our natural gas and oil assets to Piceance Energy effective August 31, 2012, our acquisition of Texadian effective December 31, 2012 and our acquisition of HIE effective September 25, 2013.

Net Loss. Net loss was approximately $79.2 million, or a loss of $4.01 per basic and diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to a net loss of approximately $8.8 million, or a loss of $0.56 per basic and diluted common share, for the four months ended December 31, 2012 and a net loss of approximately $45.4 million, or a loss of $1.57 per basic and diluted common share, for the eight months ended August 31, 2012.

Operating Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our operating revenues were approximately $878.3 million, consisting of refining and distribution and marketing revenues totaling approximately $778.1 million and commodity marketing and logistics revenues of approximately $100.1 million. There were no such revenues in the periods prior to December 31, 2012 due to HIE and Texadian being acquired effective September 25, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Natural Gas and Oil Sales. For the year ended December 31, 2013, natural gas and oil sales was approximately $7.7 million. For the four months ended December 31, 2012 and eight months ended August 31, 2012, natural gas and oil sales were approximately $2.1 million and $23.1 million, respectively. The increase in natural gas and oil sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the four months ended December 31, 2012 is primarily due to the inclusion of 12 months activity in 2013 compared to four months of activity in 2012. The decrease in natural gas and oil sales for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the eight months ended August 31, 2012 is primarily related to the contribution of the majority of our natural gas and oil assets to Piceance Energy on August 31, 2012 in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy.

Cost of Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our cost of revenues was approximately $857.5 million consisting of refining distribution costs totaling approximately $773.6 million and commodity marketing and logistics costs of approximately $83.9 million. There were no such expenses in the periods prior to December 31, 2012 due to HIE and Texadian being acquired effective September 25, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Lease Operating Expense. For the year ended December 31, 2013, lease operating expense was approximately $5.6 million. For the four months ended December 31, 2012 and eight months ended August 31, 2012, lease operating expense was approximately $1.7 million and $9.0 million, respectively. The increase in lease operating expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the four months ended December 31, 2012 is primarily due to the inclusion of 12 months activity in 2013 compared to four months of activity in 2012. The decrease in lease operating expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the eight months ended August 31, 2012 is primarily related to the contribution of the majority of our natural gas and oil assets to Piceance Energy on August 31, 2012 in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy.

Transportation Expense. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and the four months ended December 31, 2012, we incurred no transportation expense. For the eight months ended August 31, 2012, transportation expense was approximately $7.0 million. The decrease is primarily related to the contribution of the majority of our natural gas and oil assets to Piceance Energy on August 31, 2012 in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy.

Production Taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2013, production taxes were approximately $49 thousand. For the four months ended December 31, 2012 and eight months ended August 31, 2012, production taxes were approximately $4 thousand and $979 thousand, respectively. The increase in production taxes for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the four months ended December 31, 2012 is primarily due to the inclusion of 12 months activity in 2013 compared to four months of activity in 2012. The decrease in production taxes for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the eight months ended August 31, 2012 is primarily related to the contribution of the majority of our natural gas and oil assets to Piceance Energy on August 31, 2012 in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy.

Table of Contents

Dry Hole Costs and Impairments. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and the four months ended December 31, 2012, we incurred no dry hole costs or impairment expense. Dry hole costs and impairments for the eight month period ended August 31, 2012 were approximately $151.3 million. On August 31, 2012, concurrent with the approval of the Plan, our natural gas and oil properties were reclassified to assets held for sale resulting in an impairment of approximately $151.3 million. Subsequent to the contribution of the majority of our natural gas and oil assets to Piceance Energy, we hold solely non-operated interests in natural gas and oil properties and have not participated in any exploratory drilling activities.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion. For the year ended December 31, 2013, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion (“DD&A”) expense was approximately $6.0 million, which consisted primarily of $2.3 million for our refining, distribution and marketing business, $2.0 million for our commodity marketing and logistics business, approximately $1.7 million for our natural gas and oil operations and approximately $20 thousand relating to corporate. For the four months ended December 31, 2012 and eight months ended August 31, 2012, DD&A expense was approximately $401 thousand and $16 million, respectively and primarily related to our natural gas and oil activities. The increase in DD&A expense related to our refining and distribution business and our marketing and transportation business is due to the HIE acquisition and the Texadian acquisition on September 25, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The increase in DD&A expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the four months ended December 31, 2012 is primarily due to the inclusion of 12 months activity in 2013 compared to four months of activity in 2012. The decrease in DD&A expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the eight months ended August 31, 2012 is primarily related to the contribution of the majority of our natural gas and oil assets to Piceance Energy on August 31, 2012 in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy.

Trust Litigation and Settlements. For the year ended December 31, 2013, trust litigation and settlement expense was approximately $6.2 million and consisted of legal and other professional fees relating to the Recovery Trust of approximately $519 thousand and revisions to the settlement claim liability of approximately $5.7 million based on the claims settled during the period.

General and Administrative Expense. For the year ended December 31, 2013, general and administrative expense was approximately $21.5 million. For the four months ended December 31, 2012 and eight months ended August 31, 2012, general and administrative expense was approximately $4.5 million and $9.4 million, respectively. General and administrative costs were higher in 2013 due to the growth of the company, costs related to contractors, and costs related to the transition services agreement.

Acquisition and Integration Costs. For the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, were $9.8 million and $556 thousand. Of the $9.8 million recorded in 2013, $7.0 million is specific to acquisition costs and $2.8 million is related to integration costs.

Loss From Unconsolidated Affiliates. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our loss from Piceance Energy totaled approximately $2.9 million consisting of an allocated loss of $3.5 million partially offset by an accretion of the basis difference in the investment of approximately $575 thousand. The allocated loss includes an operating loss of approximately $2.3 million and financing and derivative costs of approximately $1.2 million. For the four months ended December 31, 2012, our allocated loss from our investment in Piceance Energy was approximately $1.3 million, which includes a loss of approximately $699 thousand from operating activities and financing and derivative loss of approximately $626 thousand. There was no significant loss from unconsolidated affiliates for the Predecessor as Piceance Energy was formed in connection with our emergence from bankruptcy on August 31, 2012.

Interest Expense and Financing Costs. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our interest expense and financing costs was approximately $19.5 million. For the four months ended December 31, 2012 and eight months ended August 31, 2012, interest expense and financing costs were approximately $1.1 million and $6.9 million, respectively. Our Predecessor and its subsidiaries filed bankruptcy petitions in December 2011 and January 2012. As a result, we ceased accruing interest on the Predecessor’s outstanding debt, except for the debtor-in-possession

financing loan. The consummation of the Plan of Reorganization on August 31, 2012 resulted in a new capital structure. Furthermore, we have entered into various credit agreements related to the HIE acquisition and Texadian acquisition to support their related operations which have increased interest costs relative to prior periods.

Change in value of common stock warrants. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized a loss related to the change in value of common stock warrants of approximately $10.1 million due to mark-to-market adjustments resulting from an increase in the price of our common stock. For the four months ended December 31, 2012, we recognized an unrealized loss of approximately $4.3 million due to mark-to-market adjustments resulting from an increase in the price of our common stock. These derivatives did not exist prior to our emergence from bankruptcy.

Gain on Derivative Instruments, net. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized a gain primarily related to our derivative instruments of approximately $410 thousand due to mark-to-market adjustments. These derivatives did not exist prior to our emergence from bankruptcy.

Other Income. For the year ended December 31, 2013, other income totaled approximately $809 thousand. Other income for the four months ended December 31, 2012 was not significant. For the eight months ended August 31, 2012, other income was approximately $516 thousand.

Income Taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded no tax expense. For the four months ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a net income tax benefit of approximately $2.8 million, which represents the reduction in our valuation allowance as a result of deferred tax liabilities recorded in connection with the Texadian acquisition.

As of December 31, 2013, there was insufficient evidence for us to conclude that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax asset would be realized.

Reorganization Items. For the eight months ended August 31, 2012, we recognized approximately $22.4 million in professional fees and administrative expenses, a loss of approximately $14.8 million relating to a change in fair value of assets due to fresh-start reporting adjustments, and a gain on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $168.7 million related to the settlement of our senior debt and other liabilities. There are no reorganization items in periods subsequent to August 31, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operations and borrowing availability under our credit facilities, as more fully described below. We believe that our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our capital expenditure, working capital, and debt service requirements for the next twelve months. However, our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations depends, in part, on market prices for oil and refined products and general economic, political and other factors beyond our control. We believe we could, during periods of economic downturn, access the capital markets and/or other available financial resources or reduce our capital and discretionary expenditure plans to strengthen our financial position.

Current Liquidity. The following table summarizes our liquidity position as of March 25, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

(1) The HIE, HIE Retail and Texadian credit agreements contain certain covenants that limit our ability to distribute cash to their parent or other subsidiaries.

In addition to the above, in conjunction with our acquisition of HIE, and to finance the acquisition and the operations of the business of HIE after the acquisition, we entered into the crude oil Supply and Exchange Agreements. Since the Emergence Date, the primary uses of our capital resources have been in the acquisition and operation of Texadian and HIE, payment of operating expenses related to our natural gas and oil assets, professional fees, and bankruptcy expenses.

We may be required to fund capital contributions of up to $20 million to Piceance Energy under the Piceance Energy LLC Agreement. We expect that our capital contributions will be funded from available cash on hand and possible equity contributions from certain existing stockholders. If our cash sources are not sufficient to fund our entire capital contribution, then our equity ownership interest in Piceance Energy may be reduced or diluted to the extent of our shortfall.

Private Placement Equity Transaction

On September 13, 2013, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we agreed to sell shares of our common stock at a price of $13.90 per share, as adjusted to reflect the one for ten reverse stock split effective for trading purposes on January 29, 2014 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), in a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”) in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. Certain purchasers, namely, ZCOF Par Petroleum Holdings, L.L.C., an affiliate of Zell Credit Opportunities Master Fund, L.P. (“ZCOF”), and affiliates of Whitebox Advisors, LLC (“Whitebox”), each owned 10% or more of the our common stock directly or through affiliates prior to the execution of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and are deemed to be our affiliates as a result of such ownership. ZCOF and Whitebox have representatives on our board of directors.

On September 25, 2013, we completed the Private Placement and issued approximately 14.4 million shares of common stock resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to us of approximately $200 million. We did not engage any investment advisors with respect to the Private Placement, and no finders’ fees or commissions were paid to any party in connection therewith. The proceeds from the Private Placement were used to fund a portion of the purchase price for the HIE acquisition.

Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Emergence Date, we and certain of our subsidiaries (the “Guarantors” and, together with the company, the “Loan Parties”) entered into a Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent (the “Agent”) for the lenders party thereto from time to time, including WB Delta, Ltd., Waterstone Offshore ER Fund, Ltd., Prime Capital Master SPC, GOT WAT MAC Segregated Portfolio, Waterstone Market Neutral MAC51, Ltd., Waterstone Market Neutral Master Fund, Ltd., Waterstone MF Fund, Ltd., Nomura Waterstone Market Neutral Fund, ZCOF Par Petroleum Holdings, L.L.C. and Highbridge International, LLC (collectively, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to extend credit to us in the form of term loans (each, a “Loan” and collectively, the “Loans”) of up to $30 million. We borrowed $13 million on the Emergence Date in order to, along with the proceeds from the Contribution Agreement: (i) repay the loans and obligations due under the Predecessor’s secured debtor-in-possession credit facility, and (ii) pay allowed but unpaid administrative expenses to the Debtors related to the Plan. During 2013, we borrowed an additional $17 million for general corporate use. In November 2013, we repaid in full and terminated all of our obligations under the Loan Agreement, other than the New Tranche B Loans described below.

Amendment to the Loan Agreement

On December 28, 2012, in order to fund a portion of the purchase price for our acquisition of Texadian Energy, the Loan Parties entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement with the Agent and the Lenders, pursuant to which certain lenders (the “Tranche B Lenders”) agreed to extend additional borrowings to us (the “Tranche B Loan”). The total commitment of the Tranche B Loan of $35 million was drawn at closing. In addition to funding a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of Texadian, the Tranche B Loan provided cash collateral for our former cash collateralized letter of credit facility. Pursuant to the Eighth Amendment to the Loan Agreement entered into on July 24, 2013, the Lenders refinanced and replaced the Tranche B Loan with new Tranche B Loans in the aggregate principal amount of $65 million (the “New Tranche B Loans”). The proceeds from the New Tranche B Loans were applied to prepay in full the Tranche B Loan, to make payments due under the membership interests purchase agreement in connection with the acquisition of HIE (the “HIE Purchase Agreement”), and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

On September 25, 2013 and in connection with the acquisition of HIE, we entered into a Tenth Amendment to the Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Lenders (i) consented to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the HIE Purchase Agreement and the use of a portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement to fund a portion of the consideration for the acquisition of HIE and for certain other purposes, (ii) provided certain other consents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the HIE Purchase Agreement, (iii) increased the interest rate applicable to certain of the loans, and (iv) amended certain provisions of the Loan Agreement and the other loan documents in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the HIE Purchase Agreement and the Private Placement.

The consent provided by the Lenders was conditioned on, among other things, (i) the repayment in full of the New Tranche B Loans owing to all Lenders except for ZCOF Par Petroleum Holdings, L.L.C., and a partial repayment of the New Tranche B Loans owing to ZCOF Par Petroleum Holdings, L.L.C. from a portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement and (ii) a portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement being used to consummate the transactions contemplated by the HIE Purchase Agreement.

The term loans (other than the New Tranche B Loans that remain outstanding following the repayment described above) under the Loan Agreement bore interest (a) from September 25, 2013 through October 31, 2013, at a rate equal to 9.75% per annum payable, at the election of the company, either (i) in cash or (ii) in-kind, and (b) from and after November 1, 2013, at a rate equal to 14.75% per annum payable either (i) in cash or (ii) in-kind. These term loans were repaid in full in November 2013.

The New Tranche B Loans bear interest (a) from June 24, 2013 through October 31, 2013 at a rate equal to 9.75% per annum payable, at the election of the company, either (i) in cash or (ii) in kind, and (b) from and after November 1, 2013, at a rate equal to 14.75% per annum payable either (i) in cash or (ii) in kind. Additionally, we agreed to pay the New Tranche B Lenders a nonrefundable exit fee equal to 2.5% of the aggregate amount of the New Tranche B Loans. The exit fee is earned in full and payable on the maturity date of the Tranche B Loans or, if earlier, the date on which the New Tranche B Loans are paid in full.

The New Tranche B Loans mature and are payable in full on August 31, 2016. We may prepay the New Tranche B Loans at any time, provided that any prepayment is in an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $100,000 or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of the New Tranche B Loans. Amounts to be applied to prepayment of New Tranche B Loans shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest then outstanding and fees then due, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then outstanding.

The New Tranche B Loans are secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and our subsidiaries, excluding Texadian, Texadian Energy Canada Limited (“Texadian Canada”), certain of our immaterial subsidiaries, and Hawaii Pacific Energy and its subsidiaries. All our obligations under the New Tranche B Loans are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors.

ABL Facility

On September 25, 2013 and in connection with the with the acquisition of Tesoro Hawaii, HIE and certain subsidiaries of HIE (the “ABL Borrowers”) and Hawaii Pacific Energy entered into an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) to provide the ABL Borrowers with a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $125 million under which the ABL Borrowers may borrow amounts from time to time based on the available borrowing base as determined in accordance with the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility also allows the ABL Borrowers to use up to $50 million of availability under the ABL Facility for the issuances of letters of credit. The amounts borrowed pursuant the ABL Facility and all obligations arising under the ABL Facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of HIE’s assets. The ABL Borrowers agreed to pay an up-front fee, an origination fee, and commitment fees for the ABL Facility. The ABL Borrowers borrowed $15 million on September 25, 2013 under the ABL Facility in order to, in part, (i) fund the purchase price under the HIE Purchase Agreement, and (ii) provide working capital to the ABL Borrowers. The proceeds from any future amounts borrowed pursuant to the ABL Facility will be used for general corporate purposes and to fund the working capital of the ABL Borrowers. All loans and other obligations outstanding under the ABL Facility are payable in full on September 25, 2017. The ABL Facility requires HIE and its subsidiaries and Hawaii Pacific Energy to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants affecting its business and operations, including compliance by HIE in certain circumstances with a minimum ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), as adjusted, to total fixed charges of 1.0 to 1.0.

HIE Retail Credit Agreement

On November 14, 2013, HIE Retail, LLC (“HIE Retail”), our subsidiary, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Retail Credit Agreement”) in the form of a senior secured term loan of up to $30 million (the “Term Loan”) and a senior secured revolving line of credit of up to $5 million (the “Revolver”). The Lenders initially advanced $26 million of the Term Loan at the closing and will advance an additional $4 million of the Term Loan upon HIE Retail’s compliance with certain liquor licensing requirements, if such requirements are satisfied prior to December 31, 2014. The proceeds of the Term Loan are available for general corporate purposes. Loans made under the Retail Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of HIE Retail consisting primarily of 31 retail outlets on the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii. HIE Retail agreed to pay the lenders an upfront and an annual agent fee beginning on November 14, 2014. The Retail Credit Agreement requires HIE Retail to comply with various financial covenants that are measured on a quarterly basis commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014 and are calculated on a trailing four-quarter basis. The Term Loan matures and is fully payable on November 14, 2020. Principal on the Term Loan will be repaid in 28 equal quarterly principal payments over the term. The Revolver matures on November 14, 2016. Letters of credit issued under the Revolver are not to expire beyond the maturity date of the Revolver. A percentage of annual cash flow may be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan begins with fiscal year 2014 if the leverage ratio exceeds 4.5:1.00.

Texadian Uncommitted Credit Agreement

On June 12, 2013, Texadian and its wholly-owned subsidiary Texadian Canada entered into an uncommitted credit agreement (the “Uncommitted Credit Agreement”) that provides for loans and letters of credit, on an uncommitted and absolutely discretionary basis, in an aggregate amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $50 million. Loans and letters of credit issued under the Uncommitted Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in and lien on substantially all of Texadian’s assets, including, but not limited to, cash, accounts receivable, and inventory, a pledge by Texadian of 65% of its ownership interest in Texadian Canada, and a pledge by us of 100% of our ownership interest in Texadian. Texadian agreed to pay certain fees with respect to the loans and letters of credit made available to it under the Uncommitted Credit Agreement, including an up-front fee, an origination fee, a minimum compensation fee, a collateral audit fee, and fees with respect to letters of credit. The Uncommitted Credit Agreement requires Texadian to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants affecting its business, and Texadian must comply with certain financial maintenance covenants, including among other things, covenants regarding the minimum net working capital and minimum tangible net worth of Texadian. The Uncommitted Credit Facility does not permit, at any time, Texadian’s consolidated leverage ratio to be greater than 5.00 to 1.00 or its consolidated gross asset coverage to be equal to or less than zero. As of December 31, 2013, Texadian was in compliance with these covenants. There was $41.6 million outstanding in letters of credit as of December 31, 2013.

Warrant Issuance Agreement

Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, on the Emergence Date, we issued to the lenders under the Loan Agreement warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 959,213 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant Shares”). In connection with the issuance of the Warrants, we also entered into a Warrant Issuance Agreement, dated as of the Emergence Date (the “Warrant Issuance Agreement”). Subject to the terms of the Warrant Issuance Agreement, the holders are entitled to purchase shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrants at an exercise price of $0.10 per share of common stock (the “Exercise Price”), subject to certain adjustments from time to time as provided in the Warrant Issuance Agreement. The Warrants expire on the earlier of (i) August 31, 2022 or (ii) the occurrence of certain merger or consolidation transactions specified in the Warrant Issuance Agreement. A holder may exercise the Warrants by paying the applicable exercise price in cash or on a cashless basis.

The Warrant Issuance Agreement includes certain restrictions on the transfer by holders of their Warrants, including, among others, that (i) the Warrants and the notes under the Loan Agreement are not detachable for transfer purposes, and for as long as obligations under the Loan Agreement are outstanding, the notes and Warrants may not be transferred separately, and (ii) in the event that any holder desires to transfer any pro rata portion of the notes and Warrants, then such holder must provide the other Lenders and/or holders of the Warrants with a right of first offer to make an election to purchase such offered notes and Warrants.

The number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the exercise prices of the Warrants will be adjusted in connection with certain issuances or sales of shares of the company’s common stock and convertible securities, or any subdivision, reclassification or combinations of common stock. Additionally, in the case of any reclassification or capital reorganization of the capital stock of the company, the holder of each Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of such reclassification or reorganization shall have the right to receive upon exercise of the applicable Warrant, the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash or other property that such holder would have received if such Warrant had been exercised.

From the Emergence Date through December 31, 2013, we issued an additional 208,460 shares of our common stock to settle bankruptcy matters. This entitles the Lenders to receive an additional 14,859 Warrant Shares as of December 31, 2013. On December 12, 2013, Warrants to purchase 183,389 Warrant Shares were exercised. At December 31, 2013, Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 790,683 Warrant Shares were outstanding.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $35.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 which resulted from a net loss of approximately $79.2 million offset by non-cash charges to operations of approximately $37.1 million and working capital changes of approximately $6.4 million. Net cash used in operating activities for the four months ended December 31, 2012 and eight months ended August 31, 2012 was approximately $4.6 million and $20.3 million, respectively. The operations of the 2012 and 2013 periods are not comparable due to the contribution of the majority of our natural gas and oil assets to Piceance Energy and the application of fresh - start accounting effective August 31, 2012, our acquisition of Texadian on December 31, 2012 and our acquisition of HIE on September 25, 2013.

Table of Contents

For the year ended December 31, 2013, net cash used in investing activities was primarily related to the acquisition of HIE for approximately $564.5 million, of which approximately $378.2 million was funded from the Supply and Exchange Agreements (see below), capitalized drilling costs and additions to property and equipment totaling approximately $8.1 million partially offset by proceeds of the sale of our assets held for sale of approximately $2.9 million. For the four months ended December 31, 2012, net cash used in investing activities was primarily related to our acquisition of Texadian and totaled approximately $17.4 million. Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $72.6 million in the eight months ended August 31, 2012 and was generated from the proceeds of the sale of our oil and gas assets to Piceance Energy for approximately $74.2 million ($72.6 million net after working capital adjustments made in subsequent periods).

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 of approximately $632.1 million resulting from advances from our supply and exchange agreements totaling approximately $378.2 million, the sale of common stock totaling approximately $199.2 million, additional borrowings under our debt agreements of approximately $159.8 million and the release of approximately $19 million from restricted cash held to secure letters of credit partially offset by repayment of borrowings of approximately $121.9 million and payment of loan issue costs of approximately $2.3 million. For the four months ended December 31, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities totaled $23.6 million and was primarily related to borrowing of $35.0 million under our Tranche B Loan, the release of $5.2 million of restricted cash by the Recovery Trusts, as discussed under “ - Commitments and Contingencies” below, an additional $2.4 million generated by recoveries from the Wapiti Trust, offset by a required deposit of $19 million to support letters of credit. Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $60.3 million in the eight months ended August 31, 2012. During the eight months ended August 31, 2012, we borrowed (i) approximately $13 million under our Loan Agreement on the Emergence Date, and (ii) approximately $10 million, and then repaid approximately $59.5 million under the senior secured debt-in-possession credit facility entered into by the Predecessor and reserved an additional $21.8 million in order to extinguish liabilities relating to the bankruptcy and funded the Wapiti and General Recovery Trusts with $2.0 million.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures excluding acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2013 totaled approximately $7.8 million and was primarily related to our refinery and information technology systems.

Additional capital may be required to maintain our interests at our Point Arguello Unit offshore California, but this is currently unestimatable. Furthermore, we may be required as part of our equity investment in Piceance Energy to contribute up to an aggregate of approximately $20.0 million if approved by the majority of its board of managers. We also continue to seek strategic investments in business opportunities, but the amount and timing of those investments are not predictable.

Commitments and Contingencies

Supply and Exchange Agreements

HIE entered into several agreements with Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”), referred to collectively as the Supply and Exchange Agreements, on September 25, 2013 in connection with the acquisition of HIE. We entered into the Supply and Exchange Agreements for the purpose of managing our working capital and the crude oil and refined product inventory at the refinery.

Pursuant to the Supply and Exchange Agreements, Barclays holds title to all of the crude oil in the tanks at the Refinery. Additionally, Barclays holds title to a majority of our refined product inventory in our tanks at the Refinery. We hold title to the inventory during the refining process. Barclays sells the crude oil as it is discharged out of the Refinery’s tanks. We exchange refined product owned by Barclays stored in our tanks for equal volumes of refined product produced by our refinery when we execute third party sales of refined product. We currently market and sell the refined product independently to third parties. The Supply and Exchange Agreements have an initial term of three years with two one-year renewal options.

As described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, we record the inventory owned by Barclays on our behalf because we maintain the risk of loss until the refined products are sold to third parties.

 

13


Table of Contents

Because we do not hold legal title to the crude oil inventory until it enters the refinery, we record a liability in an amount equal to the carrying value of the crude oil inventory. In accordance with the terms of the Supply and Exchange Agreements, the volume of refined products purchased by Barclays in connection with the acquisition of HIE is known as the “Block Volume”. To the extent we have refined products inventory volumes at period-end in excess of the Block Volume, we record a liability for the Block Volume valued at the per barrel carrying value of the refined product inventory owned by Barclays. From time to time, we may sell refined product inventory that causes our refined product inventory to be less than the Block Volume. To the extent of this shortfall, we record a liability for the volumes that we would need to purchase at current market prices in order to meet the Block Volume requirement. The liability related to the Supply and Exchange Agreements is included in obligations under supply and exchange agreements on our consolidated balance sheets.

Environmental Matters

Like other petroleum refiners and oil and gas exploration and production companies, our operations are subject to extensive and periodically changing federal and state environmental regulations governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, and solid and hazardous waste management activities. Many of these regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, and the cost of compliance can be expected to increase over time. Our policy is to accrue environmental and clean-up related costs of a non-capital nature when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Such estimates may be subject to revision in the future as regulations and other conditions change.

Periodically, we receive communications from various federal, state, and local governmental authorities asserting violations of environmental laws and/or regulations. These governmental entities may also propose or assess fines or require corrective actions for these asserted violations. We intend to respond in a timely manner to all such communications and to take appropriate corrective action. We do not anticipate that any such matters currently asserted will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Regulation of Greenhouse Gases. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“US EPA”) has begun regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (the “Clean Air Act”). New construction or material expansions that meet certain greenhouse gas emissions thresholds will likely require that, among other things, a greenhouse gas permit be issued in accordance with the Clean Air Act regulations, and we will be required in connection with such permitting to undertake a technology review to determine appropriate controls to be implemented with the project in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Furthermore, the US EPA is currently developing refinery-specific greenhouse gas regulations and performance standards that are expected to impose, on new and modified operations, greenhouse gas emission limits and/or technology requirements. These control requirements may affect a wide range of refinery operations. Any such controls could result in material increased compliance costs, additional operating restrictions for our business, and an increase in cost of the products we produce, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

In 2007, the State of Hawaii passed Act 234, which required that greenhouse gas emissions be rolled back on a state wide basis to 1990 levels by the year 2020. Although delayed, the Hawaii Department of Health (“DOH”) has issued regulations that would require each major facility to reduce CO2 emissions by 16% by 2020 relative to a calendar year 2010 baseline (the first year in which greenhouse gas emissions were reported to the US EPA under 40 CFR Part 98). Those rules are pending final approval by the Government of Hawaii. The refinery’s capacity to reduce fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions is limited. However, the state’s pending regulation allows, and the refinery should be able to demonstrate, that additional reductions are not cost-effective or necessary in light of the state’s current greenhouse gas inventory and future year projection. The pending regulation allows for “partnering” with other facilities (principally power plants) which have already dramatically reduced greenhouse emissions or are on schedule to reduce CO2 emissions in order to comply with the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standards.

Fuel Standards. In 2007, the U.S. Congress passed the Energy Independence and Security Act (“EISA”) which, among other things, set a target fuel economy standard of 35 miles per gallon for the combined fleet of cars and light trucks in the United States by model year 2020, and contained a second Renewable Fuel Standard (the “RFS2”). In August 2012, the US EPA and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration jointly adopted

 

14


Table of Contents

regulations that establish an average industry fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon by model year 2025. The RFS2 requires an increasing amount of renewable fuel usage, up to 36.0 billion gallons by 2022. In the near term, the RSF2 will be satisfied primarily with fuel ethanol blended into gasoline. The RSF2 may present production and logistics challenges for both the renewable fuels and petroleum refining and marketing industries in that we may have to enter into arrangements with other parties or purchase credits from the US EPA to meet our obligations to use advanced biofuels, including biomass-based diesel and cellulosic biofuel, with potentially uncertain supplies of these new fuels.

In October 2010, the US EPA issued a partial waiver decision under the Clean Air Act to allow for an increase in the amount of ethanol permitted to be blended into gasoline from 10% (“E10”) to 15% (“E15) for 2007 and newer light duty motor vehicles. In January 2011, the US EPA issued a second waiver for the use of E15 in vehicles model year 2001-2006. There are numerous issues, including state and federal regulatory issues, which need to be addressed before E15 can be marketed on a large scale for use in traditional gasoline engines. Since April 2006, the State of Hawaii has required that a minimum of 9.2% ethanol be blended into at least 85% of the gasoline pool, but the regulation also limited the amount of ethanol to no more than 10%. Consequently, unless either the state or federal regulations are revised, qualified Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINS”) will be required to fulfill the federal mandate for renewable fuels.

In March 2014, the US EPA published a final Tier 3 gasoline standard that lowers the allowable sulfur level in gasoline to 10 ppm and also lowers the allowable benzene, aromatics and olefins content of gasoline. The effective date for the new standard, January 1, 2017, gives refiners nation-wide little time to engineer, permit and implement substantial modifications. Along with credit and trading options, potential capital upgrades for the refinery are being evaluated. The American Petroleum Institute and American Fuel and Petrochemical Association may challenge the final regulation.

There will be compliance costs and uncertainties regarding how we will comply with the various requirements contained in the EISA and other fuel-related regulations. We may experience a decrease in demand for refined petroleum products due to an increase in combined fleet mileage or due to refined petroleum products being replaced by renewable fuels.

Environmental Agreement

On September 25, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), Hawaii Pacific Energy (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Par created for purposes of the Tesoro Acquisition), Tesoro and HIE entered into an Environmental Agreement (the “Environmental Agreement”), which allocated responsibility for known and contingent environmental liabilities related to the acquisition of HIE, including the Consent Decree as described below.

Consent Decree. Tesoro is currently negotiating a Consent Decree with the US EPA and the United States Department of Justice concerning alleged violations of the federal Clean Air Act related to the ownership and operation of multiple facilities owned or formerly owned by Tesoro and its affiliates, including our refinery. It is anticipated that the Consent Decree will be finalized sometime during 2014 and will require certain capital improvements to our refinery to reduce emissions of air pollutants.

It is not possible at this time to estimate the cost of compliance with the final decree. However, Tesoro is responsible under the Environmental Agreement for reimbursing HIE for all reasonable third party capital expenditures incurred for the construction, installation and commissioning of such capital projects and for the payment of any fines or penalties imposed on HIE arising from the Consent Decree to the extent related to acts or omission of Tesoro or HIE prior to the Closing Date. Tesoro’s obligation to reimburse HIE for such fines and penalties is not subject to a monetary limitation; however, the obligation relating to fines and penalties terminates on the third anniversary of the Closing Date.

Tank Replacements. Tesoro has agreed, at its expense, to replace the existing underground storage tanks at certain retail locations.

Indemnification. In addition to its obligation to reimburse us for capital expenditures incurred pursuant to the Consent Decree, Tesoro agreed to indemnify us for claims and losses arising out of related breached of Tesoro’s

representations, warranties and covenants in the Environment Agreement, certain defined “corrective actions” relating to pre-existing environmental conditions, third-party claims arising under environmental laws for personal injury or property damage arising out of or relating to releases of hazardous materials that occurred prior to the Closing Date, any fine, penalty or other cost assessed by a governmental authority in connection with violations of environmental laws by HIE prior to the Closing Date, certain groundwater remediation work, the replacement of underground storage tanks located at certain retail assets, fines or penalties imposed on HIE by the Consent Decree related to acts or omissions of Tesoro prior to the Closing Date and to the Pearl City Superfund Site.

Tesoro’s indemnification obligations are subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Environmental Agreement.

Bankruptcy Matters

On the date we emerged from bankruptcy, or the Emergence Date, two trusts were formed, the Wapiti Trust and the Delta Petroleum General Recovery Trust (the “General Trust,” and together with the Wapiti Trust, the “Recovery Trusts”). The Recovery Trusts were formed to pursue certain litigation against third-parties, including preference actions, fraudulent transfer and conveyance actions, rights of setoff and other claims, or causes of action under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and other claims and potential claims that the Debtors hold against third parties. The Recovery Trusts were funded with $1 million each pursuant to the Plan.

The General Trust is pursuing all bankruptcy causes of action not otherwise vested in the Wapiti Trust, claim objections and resolutions, and all other responsibilities for winding-up the bankruptcy. The General Trust is overseen by a three person General Trust Oversight Board and our Chief Legal Officer is currently the trustee (the “Recovery Trustee”). Costs, expenses and obligations incurred by the General Trust are charged against assets in the General Trust. To conduct its operations and fulfill its responsibilities under the Plan and the trust agreements, the Recovery Trustee may request additional funding from us. Any litigation pending at the time we emerged from Chapter 11 was transferred to the General Trust for resolution and settlement in accordance with the Plan and the order confirming the Plan. We are the beneficiary of the General Trust, subject to the terms of the trust agreement and the Plan. Since the Emergence Date, the General Trust has filed various claims and causes of action against third parties before the Bankruptcy Court, which actions are ongoing. Upon liquidation of the various claims and causes of action held by the General Trust, the proceeds, less certain administrative reserves and expenses, will be transferred to us. It is unknown at this time what proceeds, if any, we will realize from the General Trust’s litigation efforts.

From the Emergence Date through December 31, 2013, the Recovery Trusts have released approximately $5.2 million to us, which is available for our general use, due to a negotiated reduction in certain fees and claims associated with the bankruptcy, as well as a favorable variance in actual expenses versus budgeted expenses. The entire $5.2 million was released prior to December 31, 2012.

The Plan provides that certain allowed general unsecured claims be paid with shares of our common stock. On the Emergence Date, 112 claims totaling approximately $73.7 million had been filed in the bankruptcy. Pursuant to the Plan, between the Emergence Date and December 31, 2012, the Recovery Trustee settled 25 claims with an aggregate face amount of $6.6 million for $258,905 in cash and 20,275 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Plan, during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Recovery Trustee settled an additional 59 claims with an aggregate face amount of $26.9 million for approximately $5.4 million in cash and 208,460 shares of common stock.

As of December 31, 2013, it is estimated that a total of 28 claims totaling approximately $40.2 million remain to be resolved by the Recovery Trustee. The largest remaining proof of claim was filed by the U.S. Government for approximately $22.4 million relating to ongoing litigation concerning a plugging and abandonment obligation in Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Lease OCS-P 0320, comprising part of the Sword Unit in the Santa Barbara Channel, California. We believe the probability of issuing stock to satisfy the full claim amount is remote, as the obligations upon which such proof of claim is asserted are joint and several among all working interest owners, and Delta, our predecessor, owned a 2.41934% working interest in the unit.

The settlement of claims is subject to ongoing litigation and we are unable to predict with certainty how many shares will be required to satisfy all claims. Pursuant to the Plan, allowed claims are settled at a ratio of 54.4 shares

per $1,000 of claim. At December 31, 2013, we have reserved approximately $3.8 million representing the estimated value of claims remaining to be settled which are deemed probable and estimable at period end (see Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies to our audited consolidated financial statements).

Operating Leases

Within our refining, distribution and marketing segment, we have various cancellable and noncancellable operating leases related to land, vehicles, office and retail facilities and other facilities used in the storage, transportation and sale of crude oil and refined products. The majority of the future lease payments relate to retail stations and facilities used in the storage, transportation and sale of crude oil and refined products. We have operating leases for most of our retail stations with primary terms of up to 32 years, and generally containing renewal options and escalation clauses. Leases for facilities used in the storage, transportation and sale of crude oil and refined products have various expiration dates extending to 2027.

In addition, with our commodity, marketing and logistics segment, we have various agreements to lease storage facilities, primarily along the Mississippi River, railcars, inland river tank barges and towboats and other equipment. These leasing agreements have been classified as operating leases for financial reporting purposes and the related rental fees are charged to expense over the lease term as they become payable. The leases generally range in duration of five years or less and contain lease renewal options at fair value. Our railcar leases contain an empty mileage indemnification provision whereby if the empty mileage exceeds the loaded mileage, we are charged for the empty mileage at the rate established by the tariff of the railroad on which the empty miles accrued.

Minimum annual lease payments extending to 2027, for operating leases to which we are legally obligated and having initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year are as follows (in thousands):

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations were based on the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our audited consolidated financial statements included herein. We have identified certain of these policies as being of particular importance to the portrayal of our financial position and results of operations and which require the application of significant judgment by management. We analyze our estimates, including those related to fresh start accounting adjustments, natural gas and oil reserves, bad debts, natural gas and oil properties, income taxes, derivatives, contingencies and litigation, and base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In estimating fair value, we use discounted cash-flow projections, recent comparable market transactions, if available, or quoted prices. We consider assumptions that third parties would make in estimating fair value, including the highest and best use of the asset. There is a significant amount of judgment involved in cash-flow estimates. The assumptions used by another party could differ significantly from our assumptions.

We classify fair value balances based on the classification of the inputs used to calculate the fair value of a transaction. The inputs used to measure fair value have been placed in a hierarchy based on priority. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted, readily observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We used a variety of methods to estimate fair value of our acquired assets and the value assigned to assets and liabilities in business combinations and in the application of fresh-start reporting, including the cost approach, the sales approach and the income approach. These methods require management to make judgments regarding characteristics of the acquired property, future revenues and expenses. Changes in these estimates would result in different amounts allocated to the related assets and liabilities.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

In the valuation of the liability for the contingent consideration to be paid for the acquisition of HIE and of our outstanding Warrants, we use a Monte Carlo Simulation model which requires management to make estimates of future gross margin, gross margin volatility and expected volatility of our stock price and a present value factor. Different estimates would result in a change in the fair value of the amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements.

Additionally, we have certain derivative instruments where we have elected the normal purchases and normal sales exception. Had we not made this election, these derivatives would be marked to market each period with the difference recorded in earnings.

Derivatives and Other Financial instruments

We periodically enter into commodity price risk transactions to manage our exposure to natural gas and oil price volatility. These transactions may take the form of non-exchange traded fixed price forward contracts and exchange traded futures contracts, collar agreements, swaps or options. The purpose of the transactions will be to provide a measure of stability to our cash flows in an environment of volatile commodity prices.

Table of Contents

Our commodity marketing and logistics segment enters into fixed-price forward purchase and sale contracts for crude oil. The contracts typically contain settlement provisions in the event of a failure of either party to fulfill its commitments under the contract. Our policy is to fulfill or accept the physical delivery of the product, even if shipment is delayed, and it will not net settle. Should we not designate a contract as a normal purchase or normal sale then the contract would be accounted for at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and marked to market each reporting period with changes in fair value being charged to earnings. We elect to offset amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement. As a result, our consolidated balance sheets present derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis. As of December 31, 2013, we have elected the normal purchase normal sale exemption for all outstanding contracts. As a result, we did not recognize the unrealized gains or losses related to these contracts in our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2012, we did not elect this exemption for our open contracts which were settled in the first quarter of 2013.

In addition, from time to time we may have other financial instruments, such as warrants or embedded debt features, that may be classified as liabilities when either (a) the holders possess rights to net cash settlement, (b) physical or net equity settlement is not in our control, or (c) the instruments contain other provisions that cause us to conclude that they are not indexed to our equity. Such instruments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period through earnings.

As a part of the Plan of Reorganization, we issued warrants that are not considered to be indexed to our equity. Accordingly, these warrants are accounted for as liabilities. In addition, our former delayed draw term loan facility contained certain puts that were required to be accounted for as embedded derivatives. The warrant liabilities and embedded derivatives are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We record asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) at fair value in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government action or contractual arrangement, to incur these costs and can make a reasonable estimate of the fair value of the liability. Our AROs arise from our refining, distribution and marketing business’ refinery and retail operations, as well as plugging and abandonment of wells within our natural gas and oil operations. AROs are calculated based on the present value of the estimated removal and other closure costs using our credit-adjusted risk-free rate. When the liability is initially recorded, we capitalize the cost by increasing the book value of the related long-lived tangible asset. The liability is accreted to its estimated settlement value and the related capitalized cost is depreciated over the asset’s useful life and both are recorded in depreciation, depletion and amortization in the statements of operations. We recognize a gain or loss at settlement for any difference between the settlement amount and the recorded liability, which is recorded as a loss on asset disposals and impairments in our statements of consolidated operations. We estimate settlement dates by considering our past practice, industry practice, management’s intent and estimated economic lives.

We cannot currently estimate the fair value for certain AROs primarily because we cannot estimate settlement dates (or range of dates) associated with these assets. These AROs include hazardous materials disposal (such as petroleum manufacturing by-products, chemical catalysts, and sealed insulation material containing asbestos), and removal or dismantlement requirements associated with the closure of our refining facility, terminal facilities or pipelines, including the demolition or removal of certain major processing units, buildings, tanks, pipelines or other equipment.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue that does not meet these criteria is deferred until the criteria are met.

Natural Gas and Oil. Revenues are recognized when title to the products transfers to the purchaser. We follow the “sales method” of accounting for our natural gas and oil revenue and recognize sales revenue on all natural gas or oil sold to our purchasers, regardless of whether the sales are proportionate to our ownership in the

Table of Contents

property. A liability is recognized only to the extent that we have an imbalance on a specific property greater than the expected remaining proved reserves. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, our aggregate natural gas and oil imbalances were not material to our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we provide an accrual for natural gas and oil sales using the sales method by estimating natural gas and oil volumes and prices for months in which revenues have not been received using production and pricing information provided by the operator.

Commodity Marketing and Logistics. We earn revenues from the sale and transportation of oil and the rental of rail cars. Accordingly, revenues and related costs from sales of oil are recorded when title transfers to the buyer. Transportation revenues are recognized when title passes to the customer, which is when risk of ownership transfers to the customer, and physical delivery occurs. Revenues from the rental of railcars are recognized ratably over the lease periods.

Refining, Distribution and Marketing. We recognize revenues upon delivery of goods or services to a customer. For goods, this is the point at which title is transferred and when payment has either been received or collection is reasonably assured. Revenues for services are recorded when the services have been provided. We record certain transactions in cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations on a net basis. These transactions include nonmonetary crude oil and refined product exchange transactions used to optimize our refinery supply, and sale and purchase transactions entered into with the same counterparty that are deemed to be in contemplation with one another. We include transportation fees charged to customers in revenues in our statements of consolidated operations, while the related transportation costs are included in cost of sales or operating expenses. Federal excise and state motor fuel taxes, which are remitted to governmental agencies through our refining segment and collected from customers in our retail segment, are included in both revenues and cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value using the first-in, first-out accounting method. We value merchandise along with spare parts, materials and supplies at average cost.

We enter into exchange and supply contracts whereby we agree to deliver a particular quantity and quality of refined products at a specified location and date to a particular counterparty and to receive from the same counterparty a particular quantity and quality of refined products at a specified location on the same or another specified date. The exchange receipts and deliveries are nonmonetary transactions, with the exception of associated grade or location differentials that are settled in cash each month. These transactions are not recorded as revenue because they involve the exchange of refined product inventories held for sale in the ordinary course of business to facilitate sales to customers. The exchange transactions are recognized at the carrying amount of the inventory transferred plus or minus any cash settlement due to grade or location differentials.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The realizability of deferred tax assets is evaluated quarterly based on a “more likely than not” standard, and to the extent this threshold is not met, a valuation allowance is recorded.

We recognize the impact of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. As a general rule, our open years for Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examination purposes are 2010, 2011, and 2012. However, since

 

20


Table of Contents

we have net operating loss carryforwards, the IRS has the ability to make adjustments to items that originate in a year otherwise barred by the statute of limitations under Section 6501 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in order to re-determine tax for an open year to which those items are carried. Therefore, in a year in which a net operating loss deduction is claimed, the IRS may examine the year in which the net operating loss was generated and adjust it accordingly for purposes of assessing additional tax in the year the net operating loss deductions was claimed. Any penalties or interest as a result of an examination will be recorded in the period assessed.

We expect to incur state income tax liabilities as a result of certain operations in states where we have no net operating loss carryovers available to offset taxable income generated within those states.

 

Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Financial statements begin on page F-1. There are no financial statement schedules since they are either not applicable or the information is included in the notes to the financial statements.

 

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

In connection with the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Original Form 10-K”), as of December 31, 2013, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 15d-15 (e) under the Exchange Act. In performing this evaluation, management reviewed the selection, application and monitoring of our historical accounting policies. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, based on a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2013. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K and in connection with the restatement discussed elsewhere in this Amendment No. 2 on Form 10-K/A (“Amendment No. 2”), management identified an additional material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, as described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting below. As a result of its identification of the material weaknesses, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reevaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2013. Based on that reevaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses, each of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded, based on his knowledge, that the consolidated financial statements included in this Amendment No. 2 fairly present, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of and for the periods presented in this report, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (as revised)

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, in connection with the Original Form 10-K, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992) (the “COSO Framework”). Based on our evaluation under this framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2013.

Prior to December 31, 2011, we filed for voluntary bankruptcy and during the duration of the proceedings, our ability to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting was weakened due to a high amount of turnover to our accounting staff. As of August 31, 2012, we emerged from bankruptcy and replaced the operations and financial reporting functions with a new accounting group. In December 2012 and September 2013, we completed acquisitions which significantly increased the size of the Company and its resource requirements. Due to our rapid growth there has been a heavy reliance on external service providers and contractors, particularly in the accounting department.

        During the fourth quarter of 2013, management performed a comprehensive assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. In performing its assessment, management considered the number of late

 

21


Table of Contents

adjustments and corrections to the consolidated financial statements. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that the Company had a material weakness because it did not have sufficient qualified accounting personnel to prevent our financial statements and related disclosures from being materially misstated. As a result of this assessment and based on the criteria in the COSO Framework, management concluded, based upon the material weakness described above, that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.

In connection with the restatement discussed elsewhere in this Amendment No. 2, management reevaluated the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. Based on this reevaluation, management concluded that the Company had an additional material weakness because it did not have appropriate controls in place to ensure inventory measurements were calculated correctly. Based upon this additional material weakness, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financing reporting.

As a result of the initial material weakness described above, management determined that the Company needed to hire additional finance and accounting personnel to ensure it had adequate resources to perform the accounting functions and, to the extent external service providers and contractors continue to be used, adequately supervise those resources to prevent the financial statements and related disclosures from being materially misstated. We hired a new Chief Financial Officer in December 2013, and hired a Corporate Controller and additional accounting staff in early 2014 to enhance controls and procedures in the accounting function. Additionally, as a result of the additional material weakness described above and in connection with the restatement discussed elsewhere in this Amendment No. 2, management has established inventory reporting guidelines and policies to ensure inventory quantities will be reported on a consistent basis. The internal control gap remediation to be performed by management is ongoing and was not completed as of the filing of this Amendment No. 2.

No Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

This Amendment No. 2 does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for smaller reporting companies under Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Act. We qualify for the Dodd-Frank Act exemption from the independent auditor attestation requirement under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for small issuers that are neither a large accelerated filer nor an accelerated filer.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Par Petroleum Corporation

Houston, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Par Petroleum Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial statements of Piceance Energy, LLC, an equity method investee of the Company. The Company’s investment in Piceance Energy, LLC constitutes 13% of consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2013, and the Company’s interest in the net loss of Piceance Energy, LLC constitutes 4% of consolidated net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013. The financial statements of Piceance Energy, LLC were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Piceance Energy, LLC, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit and the report of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Par Petroleum Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in the Introductory Note to the consolidated financial statements, the accompanying 2013 consolidated financial statements have been restated to correct a misstatement.

Par Petroleum Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Par Petroleum Corporation and subsidiaries (the “company”) as of December 31, 2012 (Successor), and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from September 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 (Successor). These financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Notes 1 and 2 to the financial statements, the company entered into a plan of reorganization and emerged from bankruptcy on August 31, 2012. As a result of the reorganization, the company applied fresh start accounting and the consolidated financial statements for the period after the reorganization date are presented on a different cost basis than that for the periods before the reorganization and, therefore, are not comparable.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Delta Petroleum Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Par Petroleum Corporation (formerly Delta Petroleum Corporation) and subsidiaries (the Predecessor) for the period from January 1, 2012 through August 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of Par Petroleum Corporation (formerly Delta Petroleum Corporation) and subsidiaries (the Predecessor) for the period from January 1, 2012 through August 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Predecessor filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on December 16, 2011. The Predecessor’s plan of reorganization became effective and the Predecessor emerged from bankruptcy protection on August 31, 2012. In connection with its emergence from bankruptcy, the company adopted the guidance for fresh start accounting in conformity with FASB ASC Topic 852, Reorganizations, effective as of August 31, 2012. Accordingly, the company’s consolidated financial statements prior to August 31, 2012 are not comparable to its consolidated financial statements for periods after August 31, 2012.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Introductory Note

These consolidated financial statements reflect the restatement of our previously issued financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A for the period ended December 31, 2013. The restatement relates to an $8.6 million understatement of cost of revenues and net loss ($0.44 per common share). The restatement had no impact on net cash flow used in operations.

We determine our inventory balance and our obligations under supply and exchange agreements based on physical inventory observations each reporting period. During May 2014, we determined that we did not appropriately consider an adjustment to the measurements taken during the physical inventory observation that occurred on December 31, 2013. This overstatement of inventory volumes also impacted our monthly settlement under our supply and exchange agreements, resulting in a decrease to our trade receivables. The increase in net loss had no impact on income tax expense due to the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

 

Note 1 - Overview

We are a diversified energy holding company based in Houston, Texas (OTCQB:PARR). We were created through the successful reorganization of Delta Petroleum in August 2012. The reorganization converted approximately $265 million of unsecured debt to equity and allowed us to preserve significant tax attributes. Currently, we operate in three segments: (i) refining, distribution and marketing, (ii) natural gas and oil operations and (iii) commodity marketing and logistics operations.

Our refining, distribution and marketing segment consists of a refinery in Kapolei, Hawaii. The refinery produces ultra-low sulfur diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, marine fuel and other associated refined products primarily for consumption in Hawaii. Our refinery logistics assets include refined products terminals, pipelines, a single point mooring and other associated logistics assets. In addition, we distribute products though 31 branded retail outlets located across the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii. The refining, distribution and marketing segment was established through the acquisition of Hawaii Independent Energy, LLC (“HIE”) (formerly known as Tesoro Hawaii, LLC (“Tesoro Hawaii”)) in September 2013 for approximately $75 million in cash, plus net working capital and inventories and certain contingent earn out payments of up to approximately $40 million (the “HIE Acquisition”). As part of the purchase price, we also funded $24.3 million of start-up expenses and for a major overhaul of a co-generation turbine used at the refinery prior to closing.

Our natural gas and oil operations consist primarily of a 33.34% interest in Piceance Energy, LLC (“Piceance Energy”) (Note 3 - Investment in Piceance Energy). Piceance Energy is a joint venture with Laramie Energy II, LLC (“Laramie”), who owns the remaining interest and manages the day to day operations of the joint venture. Laramie is a Denver-based company primarily focused on finding and developing natural gas reserves from unconventional gas reservoirs within the Rocky Mountain region. Piceance Energy was formed and capitalized in August 2012 when we and Laramie Energy contributed oil and natural gas assets, surface real estate, and other related assets located in the Piceance Basin geological province of Colorado to the joint venture entity.

Our commodity marketing and logistics segment focuses on sourcing, marketing, transportation and distribution of crude oil and refined products. Our logistics capability consists of historical pipeline shipping status, a rail car fleet, and expertise in contracted chartering of tows and barges, with the capability of moving crude oil from land-locked locations in the Western U.S. and Canada to the refining hubs in the Midwest, the Gulf Coast, and the East Coast regions of the U.S. The commodity marketing and logistics operations segment was established through the acquisition of Texadian Energy, Inc. (“Texadian”) (formerly known as SEACOR Energy, Inc.) in December 2012 for approximately $14 million in cash, plus approximately $3 million in working capital.

As a result of these transactions, our results of operations for any period after December 31, 2013 will not be comparable to any prior period.

On January 23, 2014, we amended and restated our certificate of incorporation to implement a one-for-ten (1:10) reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share. All references in the financial statements to the number of shares of common stock or warrants, price per share and weighted average number of common stock outstanding prior to the 1:10 reverse stock split have been adjusted to reflect this stock split on a retroactive basis, unless otherwise noted. No adjustments have been made to the share or per share amounts of our Predecessor (see Note 20 - Subsequent Events).

To generate earnings and cash flows from operations, the Company’s refining, distribution and marketing segment is primarily dependent upon processing crude oil and selling refined petroleum products at margins sufficient to cover fixed and variable costs and other expenses. Crude oil and refined petroleum products are commodities and factors largely out of the Company’s control can cause prices to vary over time.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Par Petroleum Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements (other than operating leases) or any unconsolidated special purpose entities.

Our wholly-owned subsidiaries include Hawaii Pacific Energy, LLC (“Hawaii Pacific Energy”) which acquired all of the outstanding membership interests of HIE on September 25, 2013 (see Note 4 - Acquisitions and Dispositions), Par Piceance Energy, LLC, which owns our investment in Piceance Energy (see Note 3 - Investment in Piceance Energy) and Texadian, which we acquired on December 31, 2012 (see Note 4 - Acquisitions and Dispositions). Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include fair value of assets and liabilities recorded in connection with the application of fresh-start reporting or acquisitions, natural gas and oil reserves, depletion and impairment of natural gas and oil properties, income taxes and the valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets, bad debts, derivatives, asset retirement obligations, contingencies and litigation accruals. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Fresh-Start Reporting and the Effects of the Plan

Certain companies qualify for fresh-start reporting in connection with their emergence from bankruptcy. Fresh-start reporting is appropriate on the emergence from bankruptcy if the reorganization value of the assets of the emerging entity immediately before the date of confirmation is less than the total of all post-petition liabilities and allowed claims, and if the holders of existing voting shares immediately before confirmation receive less than 50 percent of the voting shares of the emerging entity. We met these requirements on August 31, 2012 and adopted fresh-start reporting resulting in the creation of a new reporting entity.

The bankruptcy court issued a confirmation order approving our plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) on August 15, 2012 and we met the requirements of the Plan on August 31, 2012. Under the requirements of fresh-start reporting, we have adjusted our assets and liabilities to their estimated fair values as of August 31, 2012 in conformity with the guidance for the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The net effect of all fresh-start adjustments, including the effects of implementing the plan, resulted in a gain of approximately $154 million, which is reflected in the 2012 Predecessor Period. The application of the fresh-start reporting provisions created a new reporting entity having no retained earnings nor accumulated deficit.

Our fresh-start adjustments consisted primarily of (i) estimates of the fair value of our minority interest in Piceance Energy and (ii) of the fair value of our remaining existing fixed assets and liabilities. A description of the adjustments and amounts is provided in Note 19 - Reorganization under Chapter 11, Fresh-Start Reporting and the Effects of the Plan.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and funds invested in highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash not readily available for general purpose cash needs. Restricted cash relates to bankruptcy matters and cash held at commercial banks to support letter of credit facilities.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We establish provisions for losses on trade receivables if it becomes probable we will not collect all or part of the outstanding balances. We review collectability and establish or adjust our allowance as necessary using the specific identification method. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had no significant allowance for doubtful accounts.

Refined Product Exchanges

We enter into exchange and supply contracts whereby we agree to deliver a particular quantity and quality of refined products at a specified location and date to a particular counterparty and to receive from the same counterparty a particular quantity and quality of refined products at a specified location on the same or another specified date. The exchange receipts and deliveries are nonmonetary transactions with the exception of associated grade or location differentials that are settled in cash each month. These transactions are not recorded as revenue because they involve the exchange of refined product inventories held for sale in the ordinary course of business to facilitate sales to customers. The exchange transactions are recognized at the carrying amount of the inventory transferred plus or minus any cash settlement due to grade or location differentials.

Inventories

Commodity inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value using the first-in, first-out accounting method. We value merchandise along with spare parts, materials and supplies at average cost.

HIE acquires substantially all of its crude oil from Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”) under supply and exchange agreements as described in Note 9 - Supply and Exchange Agreements. The crude oil remains in the legal title of Barclays and is stored in HIE’s storage tanks governed by a storage agreement. Legal title to the crude oil passes to HIE at the tank outlet. After processing, Barclays takes title to the refined products when the refined products enter the tanks which are then stored in HIE’s storage tanks until sold to HIE’s retail locations or to third parties. We record the inventory owned by Barclays on our behalf as inventory with a corresponding accrued liability on our balance sheet because we maintain the risk of loss until the refined products are sold to third parties.

Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate

We account for our investment in unconsolidated affiliate using the equity method as we have the ability to exert significant influence, but do not control the operating and financial policies. Our proportionate share of net income (loss) of these entities is recorded as income (loss) from unconsolidated affiliates in the consolidated statements of operations. Investment in unconsolidated affiliate is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, our investment in unconsolidated affiliates consisted of our ownership interest in Piceance Energy (see Note 3 - Investment in Piceance Energy.)

Property, Plant and Equipment (Other than Natural Gas and Oil Properties)

We capitalize the cost of additions, major improvements and modifications to property, plant and equipment. The cost of repairs and normal maintenance of property, plant and equipment is expensed as incurred. Major improvements and modifications of property, plant and equipment are those expenditures that either extend the useful life, increase the capacity or improve the operating efficiency of the asset, or improve the safety of our operations. We compute depreciation of property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful life of each asset as follows:

We record property under capital leases at the lower of the present value of minimum lease payments using our incremental borrowing rate or the fair value of the leased property at the date of lease inception. We depreciate leasehold improvements and property acquired under capital leases over the shorter of the lease term or the economic life of the asset.

We review property, plant and equipment and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment is indicated when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying value. If this occurs, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value. Factors that indicate potential impairment include: a significant decrease in the market value of the asset, operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of the asset and a significant change in the asset’s physical condition or use.

Natural Gas and Oil Properties

We account for our natural gas and oil exploration and development activities using the successful efforts method of accounting. Under such method, costs of productive exploratory wells, development dry holes and productive wells and undeveloped leases are capitalized. Natural gas and oil lease acquisition costs are also capitalized. Exploration costs, including personnel costs, certain geological or geophysical expenses and delay rentals for natural gas and oil leases, are charged to expense as incurred. Exploratory drilling costs are initially capitalized, then evaluated quarterly and charged to expense if and when the well is determined not to have found reserves in commercial quantities. The sale of a partial interest in a proved property is accounted for as a cost recovery and no gain or loss is recognized as long as this treatment does not significantly affect the units-of-production amortization rate. A gain or loss is recognized for all other sales of producing properties.

Unproved properties with significant acquisition costs are assessed quarterly on a property-by-property basis and any impairment in value is charged to expense. If the unproved properties are determined to be productive, the related costs are transferred to proved oil and natural gas properties and are depleted. Proceeds from sales of partial interests in unproved leases are accounted for as a recovery of cost without recognizing any gain or loss until all costs have been recovered.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization of capitalized acquisition, exploration and development costs is computed using the units-of-production method by individual fields (common reservoirs) using proved producing natural gas and oil reserves as the related reserves are produced. Associated leasehold costs are depleted using the unit-of-production method based on total proved natural gas and oil reserves as the related reserves are produced.

Our natural gas and oil assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the amount the purchase price exceeds the fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of goodwill during the fourth quarter of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the goodwill of a reporting unit may not be fully recoverable. We first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that

the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a two-step quantitative test is required. If required, we will review the carrying value of the net assets of the reporting unit to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, an impairment indicator exists and an estimate of the impairment loss is calculated.

Our intangible assets include relationships with suppliers and shippers, favorable railcar leases, trade names and trademarks. These intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis. We evaluate the carrying value of our intangible assets when impairment indicators are present or when circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. When we believe impairment indicators may exist, projections of the undiscounted future cash flows associated with the use of and eventual disposition of the intangible assets are prepared. If the projections indicate that their carrying values are not recoverable, we reduce the carrying values to their estimated fair values.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We record asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) in the period in which we have a legal obligation, whether by government action or contractual arrangement, to incur these costs and can make a reasonable estimate of the liability. Our AROs arise from our refining, distribution and marketing business’ refinery and retail operations, as well as plugging and abandonment of wells within our natural gas and oil operations. AROs are calculated based on the present value of the estimated removal and other closure costs using our credit-adjusted risk-free rate. When the liability is initially recorded, we capitalize the cost by increasing the book value of the related long-lived tangible asset. The liability is accreted to its estimated settlement value with accretion expense recognized in depreciation, depletion and amortization expense on our consolidated statement of operations and the related capitalized cost is depreciated over the asset’s useful life. We recognize a gain or loss at settlement for any difference between the settlement amount and the recorded liability, which is recorded as a loss on asset disposals and impairments in our statements of consolidated operations. We estimate settlement dates by considering our past practice, industry practice, management’s intent and estimated economic lives.

We cannot currently estimate the fair value for certain AROs primarily because we cannot estimate settlement dates (or range of dates) associated with these assets. These AROs include hazardous materials disposal (such as petroleum manufacturing by-products, chemical catalysts, and sealed insulation material containing asbestos), and removal or dismantlement requirements associated with the closure of our refining facility, terminal facilities or pipelines, including the demolition or removal of certain major processing units, buildings, tanks, pipelines or other equipment.

Environmental Matters

We capitalize environmental expenditures that extend the life or increase the capacity of facilities as well as expenditures that prevent environmental contamination. We expense costs that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that do not contribute to current or future revenue generation. We record liabilities when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Cost estimates are based on the expected timing and extent of remedial actions required by governing agencies, experience gained from similar sites for which environmental assessments or remediation have been completed and the amount of our anticipated liability considering the proportional liability and financial abilities of other responsible parties. Usually, the timing of these accruals coincides with the completion of a feasibility study or our commitment to a formal plan of action. Estimated liabilities are not discounted to present value and environmental expenses are recorded in operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

Derivatives and Other Financial instruments

We periodically enter into commodity price risk transactions to manage our exposure to natural gas and oil price volatility. These transactions may take the form of non-exchange traded fixed price forward contracts and exchange traded futures contracts, collar agreements, swaps or options. The purpose of the transactions is to provide a measure of stability to our cash flows in an environment of volatile commodity prices.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

 

Our commodity marketing and logistics segment enters into fixed-price forward purchase and sale contracts for crude oil. The contracts typically contain settlement provisions in the event of a failure of either party to fulfill its commitments under the contract. Our policy is to fulfill or accept the physical delivery of the product, even if shipment is delayed, and it will not net settle. Should we not designate a contract as a normal purchase or normal sale then the contract would be accounted for at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets and marked to market each reporting period with changes in fair value being charged to earnings. As of December 31, 2013, we have elected the normal purchase normal sale exemption for all outstanding contracts. As a result, we did not recognize the unrealized gains or losses related to these contracts in our consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2012, we did not elect this exemption for our open contracts which were settled in the first quarter of 2013.

In addition, from time to time we may have other financial instruments, such as warrants or embedded debt features, that may be classified as liabilities when either (a) the holders possess rights to net cash settlement, (b) physical or net equity settlement is not in our control, or (c) the instruments contain other provisions that cause us to conclude that they are not indexed to our equity. Such instruments are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period through earnings.

As a part of the Plan of Reorganization, we issued warrants (see Note 10 - Debt) that are not considered to be indexed to our equity. Accordingly, these warrants are accounted for as liabilities. In addition, our former delayed draw term loan facility contained certain puts that were required to be accounted for as embedded derivatives. The warrant liabilities and embedded derivatives are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value reported in change in value of common stock warrants and loss on derivative instruments, net respectively, on our consolidated statement of operations.

Accrued Settlement Claims

We accrued an estimate of the settlement liability relating to claims resulting from our bankruptcy (See Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies). Professional fees relating to the settlement of bankruptcy claims are charged to earnings in the period incurred.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The realizability of deferred tax assets is evaluated quarterly based on a “more likely than not” standard, and to the extent this threshold is not met, a valuation allowance is recorded.

We recognize the impact of an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. As a general rule, our open years for Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examination purposes are 2010, 2011, and 2012. However, since we have net operating loss carryforwards, the IRS has the ability to make adjustments to items that originate in a year otherwise barred by the statute of limitations in order to re-determine tax for an open year to which those items are carried. Therefore, in a year in which a net operating loss deduction is claimed, the IRS may examine the year in which the net operating loss was generated and adjust it accordingly for purposes of assessing additional tax in the year the net operating loss deductions was claimed. Any penalties or interest as a result of an examination will be recorded in the period assessed.

Stock Based Compensation

We recognize the cost of share-based payments over the period the employee provides service, generally the vesting period, and include such costs in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of equity instruments issued to employees is measured on the grant date and recognized over the service period on a straight-line basis.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue that does not meet these criteria is deferred until the criteria are met. These transactions include sale and purchase transactions entered into with the same counterparty that are deemed to be in contemplation with one another.

Natural Gas and Oil. Revenues are recognized when title to the products transfers to the purchaser. We follow the “sales method” of accounting for our natural gas and oil revenue and recognize sales revenue on all natural gas or oil sold to our purchasers, regardless of whether the sales are proportionate to our ownership in the property. A liability is recognized only to the extent that we have an imbalance on a specific property greater than the expected remaining proved reserves. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, our aggregate natural gas and oil imbalances were not material to our consolidated financial statements.

Commodity Marketing and Logistics. We earn revenues from the sale and transportation of oil and the rental of rail cars. Accordingly, revenues and related costs from sales of oil are recorded when title transfers to the buyer. Transportation revenues are recognized when title passes to the customer, which is when risk of ownership transfers to the purchaser, and physical delivery occurs. Revenues from the rental of railcars are recognized ratably over the lease periods.

Refining, Distribution and Marketing. We recognize revenues upon delivery of goods or services to a customer. For goods, this is the point at which title and risk of loss is transferred and when payment has either been received or collection is reasonably assured. Revenues for services are recorded when the services have been provided. We include transportation fees charged to customers in revenues in our statements of consolidated operations, while the related transportation costs are included in cost of sales. Federal excise and state motor fuel taxes, which are remitted to governmental agencies through our refining segment and collected from customers in our retail segment, are included in both revenues and cost of sales in our statements of consolidated operations.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and the weighted average number of shares issuable under the Warrants (see Note 16 - Loss Per Share). The Warrants are included in the calculation of basic EPS because they are issuable for minimal consideration. Non-vested restricted stock is excluded from the computation of basic EPS as these shares are not considered earned until vesting occurs.

Foreign Currency Transactions

We may, on occasion, enter into transactions denominated in currencies other than our functional currency (“U.S. $”). Gains and losses resulting from changes in currency exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which a transaction is denominated are included in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations in the period in which the currency exchange rates change.

Note 3 - Investment in Piceance Energy

We account for our 33.34% ownership interest in Piceance Energy using the equity method of accounting because we are able to exert significant influence but do not control the operating and financial policies. The Piceance Energy LLC Agreement provides that its sole manager may make a written capital call such that each member shall make additional capital contributions up to an aggregate combined total capital contribution of $60 million ($20 million to our interest), if approved by a majority of its board. If any member does not fund its share of the capital call, its interest may be reduced or diluted by the amount of the shortfall. In

addition, Piceance Energy has a $400 million secured revolving credit facility secured by a lien on its natural gas and oil properties and related assets with a borrowing base currently set at $120 million. As of December 31, 2013, the balance outstanding on the revolving credit facility was approximately $90.2 million. We are guarantors of Piceance Energy’s credit facility, with recourse limited to the pledge of our equity interests of Par Piceance Energy. Under the terms of its credit facility, Piceance Energy is generally prohibited from making future cash distributions to its owners, including us.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, our equity in the underlying net assets of Piceance Energy exceeded the carrying value of our investment by approximately $15.1 million and $15.9 million, respectively. This difference arose due to lack of control and marketability discounts and we attributed it to natural gas and oil properties and will amortize the difference over 15 years based on the estimate of proved reserves at the date Piceance Energy was formed.

Note 4 - Acquisitions and Dispositions

We made our acquisitions in furtherance of our growth strategy that focuses on the acquisition of income producing businesses in order to monetize our net operating loss carryforwards.

Texadian Energy, Inc.

On December 31, 2012, we acquired Texadian, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of SEACOR Holdings Inc., for $14 million plus estimated net working capital of approximately $3 million at closing resulting in approximately $17 million of cash paid at closing. Texadian operates an oil transportation, distribution and marketing business with significant logistics capabilities. The

purchase price for the acquisition was funded with a combination of cash and additional borrowings under the Tranche B Loan (see Note 10 - Debt). During 2013, the purchase price was reduced by $1.3 million due to funds received from SEACOR Holdings, Inc. for certain employee-related benefits.

The purchase was accounted for as a business combination whereby the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. Goodwill recognized in the transaction was attributable to opportunities expected to arise from combining our operations with Texadian’s, and specifically utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. In addition, we recorded certain other identifiable intangible assets. These include relationships with suppliers and shippers and favorable railcar leases. These intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis, which approximates their consumptive life.

A summary of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows (in thousands):

Hawaii Independent Energy, LLC

On June 17, 2013 (the “Execution Date”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, Hawaii Pacific Energy, entered into a membership interest purchase agreement (the “HIE Purchase Agreement”) with Tesoro Corporation, (the “Seller”) and solely for the purpose set forth in the HIE Purchase Agreement, Tesoro Hawaii. Pursuant to the HIE Purchase Agreement, on September 25, 2013 (the “Effective Date”), Hawaii Pacific Energy purchased from the Seller all of the issued and outstanding units representing the membership interests in Tesoro Hawaii (the “Purchased Units”), and indirectly thereby also acquired Tesoro Hawaii’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Smiley’s Super Service, Inc. Tesoro Hawaii owns and operates (i) a petroleum refinery located at the Campbell Industrial Park in Kapolei, Hawaii (the “Refinery”), (ii) certain pipeline assets, floating pipeline mooring equipment, and refined products terminals, and (iii) retail assets selling fuel products and merchandise on the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii. Following the acquisition, Tesoro Hawaii was renamed Hawaii Independent Energy, LLC (“HIE”).

Hawaii Pacific Energy acquired the Purchased Units for $75 million, paid in cash at the closing of the HIE Purchase Agreement, plus net working capital and inventories at closing and plus certain contingent earnout payments of up to $40 million. As a part of the purchase price, we also funded approximately $24.3 million of start-up expenses and for a major overhaul of a co-generation turbine used at the refinery prior to closing. The earnout payments, if any, are to be paid annually following each of the three calendar years beginning January 1, 2014 through the year ending December 31, 2016, in an amount equal to 20% of the consolidated annual gross margin of HIE in excess of $165 million during such calendar years, with an annual cap of $20 million. In the event that the Refinery ceases operations or in the event Hawaii Pacific Energy disposes of any facility used in the acquired business, Hawaii Pacific Energy’s obligation to make earnout payments could be modified and/or accelerated as provided in the HIE Purchase Agreement. The purchase price was paid with a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock in a private transaction (see Note 14 - Stockholders’ Equity), amounts received pursuant to the Supply and Exchange Agreements (see Note 9 - Supply and Exchange Agreements) and the ABL Facility (see Note 10 - Debt).

We accounted for the acquisition of HIE as a business combination whereby the purchase price has been preliminary allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. Goodwill recognized in the transaction was attributable to opportunities expected to arise from combining our operations with HIE’s, and utilization of our net

operating loss carryforwards, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. In addition, we recorded certain other identifiable intangible assets. These include trade names and trademarks. These intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis, which approximates their consumptive life.

The acquisition was partially funded from proceeds totaling approximately $378.2 million from the Supply and Exchange Agreements (see Note 9 - Supply and Exchange Agreements). None of the goodwill or intangible assets are expected to be deductible for income tax reporting purposes. Acquisition costs totaled approximately $7 million are included in acquisition and integration costs our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Assets Contributed to Piceance Energy

At December 31, 2011, Delta’s oil and gas assets were classified as held for use and no impairment charges resulted from the analysis performed at December 31, 2011 as the estimated undiscounted net cash flows exceeded carrying amounts for all properties. In August 2012, the Bankruptcy Court approved a plan of sale of substantially all of the Predecessor’s assets and accordingly these assets were classified as held for sale and an impairment of approximately $151.3 million was recognized for the period from January 1, 2012 through August 31, 2012 to write-down these assets to fair value due to the application of fresh-start reporting. The assets were then contributed to Piceance Energy in accordance with our Plan of Reorganization.

Note 9 - Supply and Exchange Agreements

HIE entered into several agreements with Barclays Bank PLC (“Barclays”), referred to collectively as the Supply and Exchange Agreements, on September 25, 2013 in connection with the acquisition of HIE. We entered into the Supply and Exchange Agreements for the purpose of managing our working capital and the crude oil and refined product inventory at the refinery.

Pursuant to the Supply and Exchange Agreements, Barclays holds title to all of the crude oil in the tanks at the refinery. Additionally, Barclays holds title to a majority of our refined product inventory in our tanks at the refinery. Barclays also prepaid us for certain inventory held at locations outside of our refinery. We hold title to the inventory during the refining process. Barclays sells the crude oil as it is discharged out of the refinery’s tanks. We exchange refined product owned by Barclays stored in our tanks for equal volumes of refined product produced by our refinery when we execute third party sales of refined product. We currently market and sell the refined product independently to third parties. The Supply and Exchange Agreements have an initial term of three years with two one-year renewal options.

As described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, we record the inventory owned by Barclays on our behalf because we maintain the risk of loss until the refined products are sold to third parties. Because we do not hold legal title to the crude oil inventory until it enters the refinery, we record a liability in an amount equal to the carrying value of the crude oil inventory. In accordance with the terms of the Supply and Exchange Agreements, the volume of refined products purchased by Barclays in connection with the acquisition of HIE is known as the “Block Volume”. To the extent we have refined products inventory volumes at period-end in excess of the Block Volume, we record a liability for the Block Volume valued at the per barrel carrying value of the refined product inventory owned by Barclays. From time to time, we may sell refined product inventory that causes our refined product inventory to be less than the Block Volume. To the extent of this shortfall, we record a liability for the volumes that we would need to purchase at current market prices in order to meet the Block Volume requirement. The liability related to the Supply and Exchange Agreements is included in obligations under supply and exchange agreements on our consolidated balance sheet.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, we incurred approximately $3.7 million in handling fees related to the Supply and Exchange Agreements, which is included in cost of revenues on our consolidated statement of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2013, interest expense and financing costs, net includes $1.4 million of expense related to the Supply and Exchange Agreements.

Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Emergence Date, we and certain of our subsidiaries (the “Guarantors” and, together with the company, the “Loan Parties”) entered into a Delayed Draw Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent (the “Agent”) for the lenders party thereto from time to time, including WB Delta, Ltd., Waterstone Offshore ER Fund, Ltd., Prime Capital Master SPC, GOT WAT MAC Segregated Portfolio, Waterstone Market Neutral MAC51, Ltd., Waterstone Market Neutral Master Fund, Ltd., Waterstone MF Fund, Ltd., Nomura Waterstone Market Neutral Fund, ZCOF Par Petroleum Holdings, L.L.C. and Highbridge International, LLC (collectively, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to extend credit to us in the form of term loans (each, a “Loan” and collectively, the “Loans”) of up to $30 million. We borrowed $13 million on the Emergence Date in order to, along with the proceeds from the Contribution Agreement: (i) repay the loans and obligations due under the Predecessor’s secured debtor-in-possession credit facility, and (ii) pay allowed but unpaid administrative expenses to the Debtors related to the Plan. During 2013, we borrowed an additional $17 million for general corporate use. In November 2013, we repaid in full and terminated all of our obligations under the Loan Agreement, other than the New Tranche B Loans described below. Included in interest expense and financing cost, net on the consolidated statements of operations is $6.1 million recorded as loss on extinguishment of debt related to the November 2013 repayment.

Amendment to the Loan Agreement

On December 28, 2012, in order to fund a portion of the purchase price for our acquisition of Texadian Energy, the Loan Parties entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement with the Agent and the Lenders, pursuant to which certain lenders (the “Tranche B Lenders”) agreed to extend additional borrowings to us (the “Tranche B Loan”). The total commitment of the Tranche B Loan of $35 million was drawn at closing. In addition to funding a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition of Texadian, the Tranche B Loan provided cash collateral for our former cash collateralized letter of credit facility. Pursuant to the Eighth Amendment to the Loan Agreement entered into on June 24, 2013, the Lenders refinanced and replaced the Tranche B Loan with new Tranche B Loans in the aggregate principal amount of $65 million (the “New Tranche B Loans”). The proceeds from the New Tranche B Loans were applied to prepay in full the Tranche B Loan, to make payments due under the membership interests purchase agreement in connection with the acquisition of HIE (the “HIE Purchase Agreement”), and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

On September 25, 2013 and in connection with the acquisition of HIE, we entered into a Tenth Amendment to the Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Lenders (i) consented to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the HIE Purchase Agreement and the use of a portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement to fund a portion of the consideration for the acquisition of HIE and for certain other purposes, (ii) provided certain other consents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the HIE Purchase Agreement, (iii) increased the interest rate applicable to certain of the loans, and (iv) amended certain provisions of the Loan Agreement and the other loan documents in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the HIE Purchase Agreement and the Private Placement (see Note 14 - Stockholder’s Equity).

The consent provided by the Lenders was conditioned on, among other things, (i) the repayment in full of the New Tranche B Loans owing to all Lenders except for ZCOF Par Petroleum Holdings, L.L.C., and a partial repayment of the New Tranche B Loans owing to ZCOF Par Petroleum Holdings, L.L.C. from a portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement and (ii) a portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement being used to consummate the transactions contemplated by the HIE Purchase Agreement.

The New Tranche B Loans bear interest (a) from June 24, 2013 through October 31, 2013 at a rate equal to 9.75% per annum payable, at the election of the company, either (i) in cash or (ii) in kind, and (b) from and after November 1, 2013, at a rate equal to 14.75% per annum payable either (i) in cash or (ii) in kind. Additionally, we agreed to pay the New Tranche B Lenders a nonrefundable exit fee equal to 2.5% of the aggregate amount of the New Tranche B Loans. The exit fee is earned in full and payable on the maturity date of the Tranche B Loans or, if earlier, the date on which the New Tranche B Loans are paid in full.

The New Tranche B Loans mature and are payable in full on August 31, 2016. We may prepay the New Tranche B Loans at any time, provided that any prepayment is in an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $100,000 or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of the New Tranche B Loans. Amounts to be applied to prepayment of New Tranche B Loans shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest then outstanding and fees then due, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then outstanding.

The New Tranche B Loans are secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and our subsidiaries, excluding Texadian, Texadian Energy Canada Limited (“Texadian Canada”), certain of our immaterial subsidiaries, and Hawaii Pacific Energy and its subsidiaries. All our obligations under the New Tranche B Loans are unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors.

ABL Facility

On September 25, 2013 and in connection with the with the acquisition of HIE, HIE and its subsidiary (the “ABL Borrowers”) and Hawaii Pacific Energy entered into an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) to provide the ABL Borrowers with a senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $125.0 million under which the ABL Borrowers may borrow amounts from time to time based on the available borrowing base as determined in accordance with the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility also allows the ABL Borrowers to use up to $50 million of availability under the ABL Facility for the issuances of letters of credit. The ABL Borrowers borrowed $15 million on September 25, 2013 under the ABL Facility in order to, in part, (i) fund the purchase price under the Purchase Agreement, and (ii) provide working capital to the ABL Borrowers. The proceeds from any future amounts borrowed pursuant to the ABL Facility will be used for general corporate purposes and to fund the working capital of the ABL Borrowers. As of December 31, 2013, the total capacity of the ABL Facility was $83.3 million.

Outstanding balances on the ABL Facility bear interest at the base rate specified below (“Base Rate”) plus a margin (based on a sliding scale of 1.00% to 1.50% depending on the borrowing base usage) or the adjusted LIBO rate specified below (“LIBO Rate”) plus a margin (based on a sliding scale of 2.00% to 2.50% depending on the borrowing base usage). The margin was 1.25% for Base Rate loans and 2.25% for LIBO Rate loans during 2013. The Base Rate is equal to the highest of (i) the prime lending rate of the ABL Agent, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% per annum, and (iii) the LIBO Rate for a LIBO Rate loan denominated in dollars with a one-month interest period commencing on such day plus 1.00%. The effective weighted-average interest rate for 2013 was 3.13%.

The amounts borrowed pursuant the ABL Facility and all obligations arising under the ABL Facility are secured by a lien in favor of the ABL Agent on substantially all of HIE’s assets.

The ABL Borrowers agreed to pay commitment fees for the ABL Facility equal to 0.375% if the borrowing base usage is greater than 50% and 0.500% if the borrowing base usage is less than or equal to 50%. Outstanding letters of credit will be charged a participation fee at a per annum rate equal to the margin applicable to LIBO Rate loans, a facing fee and customary administrative fees.

All loans and other obligations outstanding under the ABL Facility are payable in full on September 25, 2017.

The ABL Facility requires HIE and its subsidiaries and Hawaii Pacific Energy to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants affecting its business and operations, including compliance by HIE in certain circumstances with a minimum ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), as adjusted, to total fixed charges of 1.0 to 1.0.

HIE Retail Credit Agreement

On November 14, 2013 , HIE Retail, LLC (“HIE Retail”), our subsidiary, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Retail Credit Agreement”) in the form of a senior secured term loan of up to $30 million the (“Term Loan”) and a senior secured revolving line of credit of up to $5 million (the “Revolver”). HIE Retail initially borrowed $26 million of the Term Loan at the closing and an additional $4 million of the Term Loan upon HIE Retail’s compliance with certain liquor licensing requirements, if such requirements are satisfied prior to December 31, 2014, will be available. The proceeds of the Term Loan are available for general corporate purposes.

Loans made under the Retail Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of HIE Retail consisting primarily of 31 distribution outlets, selling fuel products and merchandise on the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii.

The Retail Credit Agreement requires HIE Retail to comply with various financial covenants that are measured on a quarterly basis commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014 and are calculated on a trailing four-quarter basis. Such covenants require HIE Retail to maintain a maximum Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Retail Credit Agreement) as follows:

HIE Retail is also required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.15:1.00.

Term Loan

Principal on the Term Loan will be repaid in 28 quarterly principal payments over the term through November 14, 2020.

The Term Loan will bear interest, at HIE Retail’s election, at a rate equal to (i) 30, 90 and 180 day LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin (as specified below) for LIBOR Loans (as defined in the Retail Credit Agreement), or (ii) the primary interest rate established from time to time by the Agent in the ordinary course of its business plus the Applicable Margin. The effective interest rate for 2013 on the outstanding loan was 2.5%.

Texadian Uncommitted Credit Agreement

On June 12, 2013, Texadian and its wholly-owned subsidiary Texadian Canada entered into an uncommitted credit agreement to provide for loans and letters of credit, on an uncommitted and absolutely discretionary basis, in an aggregate amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $50 million. Loans and letters of credit issued under the Uncommitted Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in and lien on substantially all of Texadian’s assets, including, but not limited to, cash, accounts receivable, and inventory, a pledge by Texadian of 65% of its ownership interest in Texadian Canada, and a pledge by us of 100% of our ownership interest in Texadian. Texadian agreed to pay certain fees with respect to the loans and letters of credit made available to it under the Uncommitted Credit Agreement, including an up-front fee, an origination fee, a minimum compensation fee, a collateral audit fee, and fees with respect to letters of credit. The Uncommitted Credit Agreement requires Texadian to comply with various affirmative

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

 

and negative covenants affecting its business, and Texadian must comply with certain financial maintenance covenants, including among other things, covenants regarding the minimum net working capital and minimum tangible net worth of Texadian. The Uncommitted Credit Facility does not permit, at any time, Texadian’s consolidated leverage ratio to be greater than 5.00 to 1.00 or its consolidated gross asset coverage to be equal to or less than zero. As of December 31, 2013, we had $41.6 million of letters of credit outstanding related to this agreement.

Letter of Credit Facility

On December 27, 2012, we entered into a letter of credit facility agreement (the “Letter of Credit Facility”). The Letter of Credit Facility provided for a letter of credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $30 million that was available for the issuance of cash-collateralized standby letters of credit for us or any of our subsidiaries.

In connection with the acquisition of Texadian, we issued an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit in favor of SEACOR Holdings, Inc. in the amount of $11.7 million (the “Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit”). The Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit secured SEACOR Holdings, Inc. in the event that certain letters of credit were drawn. Those letters of credit have been terminated and released. The Letter of Credit Facility was terminated on June 17, 2013.

Cross Default Provisions

Included within each of the our debt agreements are customary cross default provisions that require the repayment of amounts outstanding on demand should an event of default occur and not be cured within the permitted grace period, if any. As of December 31, 2013, we are in compliance with all of our credit agreements.

Warrant Issuance Agreement

Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, on the Emergence Date, we issued to the Lenders warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 959,213 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant Shares”). In connection with the issuance of the Warrants, we also entered into a Warrant Issuance Agreement, dated as of the Emergence Date (the “Warrant Issuance Agreement”). Subject to the terms of the Warrant Issuance Agreement, the holders are entitled to purchase shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrants at an exercise price of $0.10 per share of common stock (the “Exercise Price”), subject to certain adjustments from time to time as provided in the Warrant Issuance Agreement. The Warrants expire on the earlier of (i) August 31, 2022 or (ii) the occurrence of certain merger or consolidation transactions specified in the Warrant Issuance Agreement. A holder may exercise the Warrants by paying the applicable exercise price in cash or on a cashless basis.

The number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the exercise prices of the Warrants will be adjusted in connection with certain issuances or sales of shares of the company’s common stock and convertible securities, or any subdivision, reclassification or combinations of common stock. Additionally, in the case of any reclassification or capital reorganization of the capital stock of the company, the holder of each Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of such reclassification or reorganization shall have the right to receive upon exercise of the applicable Warrant, the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash or other property that such holder would have received if such Warrant had been exercised.

From the Emergence Date through December 31, 2013, we issued an additional 228,735 shares of our common stock to settle bankruptcy matters. This entitled the Lenders to receive an additional 14,859 Warrant Shares through December 31, 2013. On December 12, 2013, Warrants to purchase 183,389 Warrant Shares were exercised. At December 31, 2013, Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 790,683 Warrant Shares were outstanding.

Based on certain anti-dilution provisions in the Warrant Issuance Agreement, we have concluded that the Warrants are not indexed to our equity. Accordingly, on the Emergence Date we estimated the fair value of the Warrants on the date of grant to be approximately $6.6 million and recorded the estimated fair value of the Warrants as a derivative liability with the offset to debt discount. The debt discount was being amortized over the life of the Loan Agreement, using the effective interest method until repayment of the delayed draw term loan in November 2013. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the Warrants are reflected in earnings (see Note 11 - Fair Value Measurements).

Note 11 - Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Fair value measurements are categorized with the highest priority given to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority given to unobservable inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 -   Assets or liabilities for which the item is valued based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 -   Assets or liabilities valued based on observable market data for similar instruments.
Level 3 -   Assets or liabilities for which significant valuation assumptions are not readily observable in the market; instruments valued based on the best available data, some of which is internally-developed, and considers risk premiums that a market participant would require.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. Our policy is to recognize transfers in and/or out of fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period for which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer. We have consistently applied the valuation techniques discussed below for the periods presented. We use data from peers as well as external sources in the determination of the volatility and risk free rates used in our fair value calculations. A sensitivity analysis is performed as well to determine the impact of inputs on the ending fair value estimate.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Fresh-Start Reporting - The fair value of the Successor was based on its estimated enterprise value post-bankruptcy using valuation techniques described in notes (a) through (e) below. The individual components consist of the estimated enterprise value of Piceance Energy and the sum of the estimated fair value of the assets we retained. The estimates of fair value of the net assets were reflected in the Successor’s consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2012.

(a) Certain proved property was valued using the cost valuation technique. A significant input in this measurement was the estimated cost of the properties. A change in that estimated cost would be directly correlated to change in the estimated fair value of the property. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.

(b) The estimated fair value of our Point Arguello Unit offshore California was valued using a market valuation technique based on standalone bids received by third-parties during the sale process. We consider this to be a Level 2 fair value measurement.
(c) The estimated fair value of our frac tanks and compressor units was valued using a market valuation technique which was based on published listings of similar equipment or standalone bids received by third-parties. We consider these to be Level 2 fair value measurements.
(d) Miscellaneous assets (assets that we were unable to value using the income or market valuation techniques) were valued using the cost valuation technique. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.
(e) The estimated fair value of our investment in Piceance Energy was based on its enterprise value and uses various valuation techniques including (i) an income approach based on proved developed reserves’ future net income discounted back to net present value based on the weighted average cost of capital for comparable independent oil and natural gas producers, and (ii) a market multiple approach. Proved property was valued using the income approach. A discounted cash flow model was prepared based off of an independent reserve report with a discount rate of 10% applied to proved developed producing reserves, 15% to proved developed non-producing reserves and 20% to proved undeveloped reserves. The prices for oil and natural gas were forecasted based on NYMEX strip pricing adjusted for basis differentials. For the market multiple approach, we reviewed the transaction values of recent similar asset transactions and compared the purchase price per Mcfe of proved developed reserves and purchase price per Mcfe per day of net equivalent production of those transactions to the independent reserve report. Unproved acreage was valued using a cost approach based on recent sales of acreage in the area. Based on these valuations, the equity value of our 33.34% interest in Piceance Energy was estimated to be approximately $105.3 million on the Emergence date. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.

Purchase Price Allocation of Texadian - The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the Texadian acquisition were estimated as of the date of the acquisition using valuation techniques described in notes (a) through (f) described below.

(a) Current assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their net realizable value.
(b) The estimated fair value of the supplier relationship was estimated using a form of the income approach, the Multiple-Period Excess Earnings Method. Significant inputs used in this model include estimated cash flows from the suppliers, customer growth and rates and a discount rate. An increase in the cash flows attributable to the supplier relationships would result in an increase in the value of such relationship, while an increase in the discount rate would result in a decrease in the value. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.
(c) The estimated fair value of the historical shipper status was estimated using a form of the income approach, the Greenfield Method. Significant inputs used in this model include estimated cash flows with and without the historical shipper status, and a discount rate. An increase in the cash flows attributable to the shipper would result in an increase in the value of such relationship, while an increase in the discount rate would result in a decrease in the value. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.
(d) The estimated fair value of the railcar leases was estimated using a form of the income approach, the Lost Income Method. Significant inputs used in this model include the cost of providing services with and without the favorable railcar leases and a discount rate. An increase in market rates of railcar leases would result in an increase in the value attributable to the acquired leases. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.
(e) The excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill.
(f) A deferred tax liability has been recorded since the acquired intangible assets will not be deductible for tax purposes until the eventual sale of the company.

(a) Current assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their net realizable value.
(b) The estimated fair value of the property, plant and equipment was estimated using the cost approach. Under the cost approach, the total replacement cost of the property is determined based on industry sources with adjustments for regional factors. The total cost is then adjusted for depreciation based on the physical age of the assets and external obsolescence. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.
(c) The estimated fair value of the land was estimated using the sales comparison approach. Under this approach, the sales prices of similar properties are adjusted to account for differences in land characteristics. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.
(d) The estimated fair value of the trade names and trademarks was estimated using a form of the income approach, the Relief from Royalty Method. Significant inputs used in this model include estimated revenue attributable to the trade names and trademarks and a royalty rate. An increase in the estimated revenue or royalty rate would result in an increase in the value attributable to the trade names and trademarks. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.
(e) The excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill.
(f) The estimated fair value of the liability for contingent consideration was estimated using Monte Carlo Simulation. Significant inputs used in the model include estimated future gross margin, annual gross margin volatility and a present value factor. An increase in estimated future gross margin, volatility or the present value factor would result in an increase in the liability. We consider this to be a Level 3 fair value measurement.
(g) Other noncurrent assets and liabilities are recorded at their estimated net present value as estimated by management.

Assets and Liabilities Measure at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Common stock warrants - We estimate the fair value of our outstanding Warrants using a Monte Carlo Simulation analysis, which is considered to be Level 3 fair value measurement. Significant inputs used in the Monte Carlo Simulation Analysis include:

   $ 22.30      $ 12.00

Expected volatility

     52.9     75.0

 

F-30


Table of Contents

PAR PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

 

The expected volatility is based on the 10-year historical volatilities of comparable public companies. Based on the Monte Carlo Simulation Analysis, the estimated fair value of the Warrants was $21.64 and $11.30 per share, or approximately $17.3 million and $10.9 million, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Since the Warrants were in the money upon issuance, we do not believe that changes in the inputs to the Monte Carlo Simulation Analysis will have a significant impact to the value of the Warrants other than changes in the value of our common stock. Increases in the value of our common stock will directly be correlated to increases in the value of the Warrants. Likewise, a decrease in the value of our common stock will result in a decrease in the value of the Warrants.

Debt Prepayment Derivative - Our Loan Agreement contained mandatory repayments subject to premiums as set forth in the agreement. Factors such as the sale of assets, distributions from our investment in Piceance Energy, issuance of additional debt or issuance of additional equity may result in a mandatory prepayment. We considered the contingent prepayment feature to be an embedded derivative which was bifurcated from the loan and accounted for as a derivative. The fair value of the embedded derivative was estimated using an income valuation technique and a Crystal Ball forecast. The fair value measurement is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. We do not believe that changes to the inputs in the model would have a significant impact on the valuation of the embedded derivative, other than a change to the estimate of the probability that a triggering event would occur. An increase in the probability of a triggering event occurring would cause an increase in the fair value of the embedded derivative. Likewise, a decrease in the probability of a triggering event occurring would cause a decrease in the value of the embedded derivative. At December 31, 2012, we estimated the fair value of the embedded derivative to be $145 thousand based on the probability of us repaying the loan prior to maturity. In November 2013, we repaid in full and terminated all of our obligations, including any repayment premiums, under this Loan Agreement (other than the new Tranche B loans described above) extinguishing the liability (see Note 10 - Debt).

Derivative instruments - With the acquisition of Texadian, we assumed certain open positions consisting of non-exchange traded fixed price physical contracts. These contracts were not treated as normal purchase or normal sales contracts and changes in fair value were recorded in earnings. In addition, we had certain exchange traded oil contracts that settled during the period and had no open positions as of December 31, 2013. The fair value of our commodity derivatives is measured using the closing market price at the end of the reporting period obtained from the New York Mercantile Exchange and from third party broker quotes and pricing providers. As of December 31, 2013, we had no open positions relating to these non-exchange traded fixed price physical contracts for which we have not elected the normal purchase or normal sale exception.

Contingent consideration liability - As described in Note 4, the purchase price for our acquisition of HIE may be increased pursuant to an earn out provision. The initial value of the contingent consideration was estimated to be approximately $12.0 million. The liability is re-measured at the end of each reporting period using the valuation technique as described above. We do not believe that there has been a material change in the liability from September 25, 2013 through December 31, 2013.

The fair value of all non-derivative financial instruments included in current assets, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and trade accounts receivable, current liabilities and accounts payable approximate their carrying value due to their short term nature.

We estimate our long term debt’s fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis and an estimate of the current yield of 5.72% and 5.72% as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, by reference to market interest rates for term debt of comparable companies.

Note 12 - Defined Contribution Plans

We maintain several defined contribution plans for our employees. Eligible employees can enter the plans either immediately or after one year of service, depending on the plan. The plans permit employee contributions up to the IRS limits per year. For some plans, we contribute 3% of the employee’s eligible compensation to the plan regardless of the employee’s contribution. On all plans, we match a portion of all the employee’s contributions up to 6% depending on the plan. In addition, we have a money purchase pension plan for certain eligible employees. Under this plan, we make contributions to employee directed investment accounts ranging from 5.5% to 8.5% of eligible compensation depending on the employee’s age. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we made contributions to the plans totaling approximately $502 thousand. There were no such plans in place for the period from September 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.

Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters

Like other petroleum refiners and oil and gas exploration and production companies, our operations are subject to extensive and periodically changing federal and state environmental regulations governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, and solid and hazardous waste management activities. Many of these regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, and the cost of compliance can be expected to increase over time.

 

F-33


Table of Contents

PAR PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

 

Periodically, we receive communications from various federal, state, and local governmental authorities asserting violations of environmental laws and/or regulations. These governmental entities may also propose or assess fines or require corrective actions for these asserted violations. We intend to respond in a timely manner to all such communications and to take appropriate corrective action. We do not anticipate that any such matters currently asserted will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Regulation of Greenhouse Gases. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“US EPA”) has begun regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (the “Clean Air Act”). New construction or material expansions that meet certain greenhouse gas emissions thresholds will likely require that, among other things, a greenhouse gas permit be issued in accordance with the Clean Air Act regulations, and we will be required in connection with such permitting to undertake a technology review to determine appropriate controls to be implemented with the project in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Furthermore, the US EPA is currently developing refinery-specific greenhouse gas regulations and performance standards that are expected to impose, on new and modified operations, greenhouse gas emission limits and/or technology requirements. These control requirements may affect a wide range of refinery operations. Any such controls could result in material increased compliance costs, additional operating restrictions for our business, and an increase in cost of the products we produce, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

In 2007, the State of Hawaii passed Act 234, which required that greenhouse gas emissions be rolled back on a state wide basis to 1990 levels by the year 2020. Although delayed, the Hawaii Department of Health (“DOH”) has issued regulations that would require each major facility to reduce CO2 emissions by 16% by 2020 relative to a calendar year 2010 baseline (the first year in which greenhouse gas emissions were reported to the US EPA under 40 CFR Part 98). Those rules are pending final approval by the Government of Hawaii. The refinery’s capacity to reduce fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions is limited. However, the state’s pending regulation allows, and the refinery should be able to demonstrate, that additional reductions are not cost-effective or necessary in light of the state’s current greenhouse gas inventory and future year projection. The pending regulation allows for “partnering” with other facilities (principally power plants) which have already dramatically reduced greenhouse emissions or are on schedule to reduce CO2 emissions in order to comply with the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standards.

Fuel Standards. In 2007, the U.S. Congress passed the Energy Independence and Security Act (“EISA”) which, among other things, set a target fuel economy standard of 35 miles per gallon for the combined fleet of cars and light trucks in the United States by model year 2020, and contained a second Renewable Fuel Standard (the “RFS2”). In August 2012, the US EPA and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration jointly adopted regulations that establish an average industry fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon by model year 2025. The RFS2 requires an increasing amount of renewable fuel usage, up to 36.0 billion gallons by 2022. In the near term, the RSF2 will be satisfied primarily with fuel ethanol blended into gasoline. The RSF2 may present production and logistics challenges for both the renewable fuels and petroleum refining and marketing industries in that we may have to enter into arrangements with other parties or purchase credits from the US EPA to meet our obligations to use advanced biofuels, including biomass-based diesel and cellulosic biofuel, with potentially uncertain supplies of these new fuels.

In October 2010, the EPA issued a partial waiver decision under the Clean Air Act to allow for an increase in the amount of ethanol permitted to be blended into gasoline from 10% (“E10”) to 15% (“E15”) for 2007 and newer light duty motor vehicles. In January 2011, the US EPA issued a second waiver for the use of E15 in vehicles model year 2001-2006. There are numerous issues, including state and federal regulatory issues, which need to be addressed before E15 can be marketed on a large scale for use in traditional gasoline engines. Since April 2006, the State of Hawaii has required that a minimum of 9.2% ethanol be blended into at least 85% of the gasoline pool, but the regulation also limited the amount of ethanol to no more than 10%. Consequently, unless either the state or federal regulations are revised, qualified Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINS”) will be required to fulfill the federal mandate for renewable fuels.

In March 2014, the US EPA published a final Tier 3 gasoline standard that lowers the allowable sulfur level in gasoline to 10 ppm and also lowers the allowable benzene, aromatics and olefins content of gasoline. The effective date for the new standard, January 1, 2017, gives refiners nation-wide little time to engineer, permit and implement substantial modifications. Along with credit and trading options, potential capital upgrades for the refinery are being evaluated. The American Petroleum Institute and American Fuel and Petrochemical Association may challenge the final regulation.

There will be compliance costs and uncertainties regarding how we will comply with the various requirements contained in the EISA and other fuel-related regulations. We may experience a decrease in demand for refined petroleum products due to an increase in combined fleet mileage or due to refined petroleum products being replaced by renewable fuels.

Environmental Agreement

On September 25, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), Hawaii Pacific Energy (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Par created for purposes of the Tesoro Acquisition), Tesoro and HIE entered into an Environmental Agreement (the “Environmental Agreement”), which allocated responsibility for known and contingent environmental liabilities related to the acquisition of HIE, including the Consent Decree as described below.

Consent Decree. Tesoro is currently negotiating a consent decree with the US EPA and the United States Department of Justice concerning alleged violations of the federal Clean Air Act related to the ownership and operation of multiple facilities owned or formerly owned by Tesoro and its affiliates (the “Consent Decree”), including the Hawaii refinery. It is anticipated that the Consent Decree will be finalized sometime during 2014 and will require certain capital improvements to our refinery to reduce emissions of air pollutants.

It is not possible at this time to estimate the cost of compliance with the ultimate decree. However, Tesoro is responsible under the Environmental Agreement for reimbursing HIE for all reasonable third party capital expenditures incurred for the construction, installation and commissioning of such capital projects and for the payment of any fines or penalties imposed on HIE arising from the Consent Decree to the extent related to acts or omission of Tesoro or HIE prior to the Closing Date. Tesoro’s obligation to reimburse HIE for such fines and penalties is not subject to a monetary limitation; however, the obligation relating to fines and penalties terminates on the third anniversary of the Closing Date.

Tank Replacements. Tesoro has agreed, at its expense, to replace the existing underground storage tanks at certain retail assets.

Indemnification. In addition to its obligation to reimburse us for capital expenditures incurred pursuant to the Consent Decree, Tesoro agreed to indemnify us for claims and losses arising out of related breaches of Tesoro’s representations, warranties and covenants in the Environment Agreement, certain defined “corrective actions” relating to pre-existing environmental conditions, third-party claims arising under environmental laws for personal injury or property damage arising out of or relating to releases of hazardous materials that occurred prior to the Closing Date, any fine, penalty or other cost assessed by a governmental authority in connection with violations of environmental laws by HIE prior to the Closing Date, certain groundwater remediation work, the replacement of underground storage tanks located at certain retail assets, fines or penalties imposed on HIE by the Consent Decree related to acts or omissions of Tesoro prior to the Closing Date and to the Pearl City Superfund Site.

Tesoro’s indemnification obligations are subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Environmental Agreement. These limitations include a cap of $15 million for certain of Tesoro’s indemnification obligations related to certain pre-existing conditions as well as certain restrictions regarding the time limits for submitting notice and supporting documentation for remediation actions.

Helicopter Litigation.

HIE is the defendant in a lawsuit styled State of Hawaii Department of Transportation Airports Division et al. v. Tesoro Hawaii, Civil No. 09-2253-09 JHC. In this matter, the insurance company for the State of Hawaii is seeking reimbursement of the attorney’s

fees and costs incurred by outside council to defend against Tesoro Hawaii’s third-party complaints for contribution in three previously-settled underlying litigation matters. The underlying litigation was filed by three helicopter tour operators flying on the Island of Kauau. The helicopter tour operators allege bad jet fuel caused the formation of coking deposits in their engines which resulted in millions of dollars of repair costs and lost income. There were no in-flight issues.

Tesoro Hawaii filed third-party complaints against the State of Hawaii in each of the three underlying lawsuits alleging that any fuel issues arose from improper design and maintenance of the underground pipeline and dispensers owned and maintained by the State of Hawaii. The helicopter operators settled with the State of Hawaii, and Tesoro Hawaii and its aviation liability insurers subsequently settled with the helicopter operators.

The lawsuit alleges that the State of Hawaii was entitled to a defense and indemnity under the terms of its lease for the Tesoro Hawaii facility at the Lihue airport. The suit alleges defense costs of approximately $2 million in the underlying lawsuits. The State of Hawaii and its insurance company have since demanded $3.25 million. The issue at trial is ultimately whether Tesoro Hawaii owed a contractual duty to pay for the State of Hawaii’s defense against Tesoro Hawaii’s third-party complaints against the State of Hawaii for the State’s own negligence. The case is set for a bench trial in September 2014.

There is a companion lawsuit by the State of Hawaii and its insurance company against Tesoro Hawaii’s former liability insurer on the same issues. The Court previously held by way of a Motion for Summary Judgment that Tesoro Hawaii’s insurer had a duty to defend the State of Hawaii against Tesoro Hawaii’s third-party complaints. That matter is going to trial in July 2014 on the issue of damages only (e.g. the reasonable amount of attorney’s fees and costs the State of Hawaii is entitled to for the defense of the third-Party Complaints in the underlying lawsuits).

We do not believe that any loss relating to this litigation is probable. However, should any loss become probable before the end of the measurement period, such loss would be reflected as a purchase price adjustment relating to the HIE Acquisition.

Recovery Trusts

On the date we emerged from bankruptcy, or the Emergence Date, two trusts were formed; the Wapiti Recovery Trust (the “Wapiti Trust”) and the Delta Petroleum General Recovery Trust (the “General Trust,” and together with the Wapiti Trust, the “Recovery Trusts”). The Recovery Trusts were formed to pursue certain litigation against third-parties or causes of action under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and other claims and potential claims that the Debtors hold against third parties. The Recovery Trusts were funded with $1.0 million each pursuant to the Plan.

In September 2012, the Wapiti Trust settled all causes of action against Wapiti Oil & Gas, LLC (“Wapiti Oil & Gas”). Wapiti Oil & Gas made a one-time cash payment in the amount of $1.5 million to the Wapiti Trust, as consideration for the release of claims against it. These proceeds were then distributed to us, along with funds remaining from the initial funding of the Wapiti Trust of approximately $1.0 million. The Wapiti Trust was liquidated during 2013.

The General Trust is pursuing all bankruptcy causes of action not otherwise vested in the Wapiti Trust, claim objections and resolutions, and all other responsibilities for winding-up the bankruptcy. The General Trust is overseen by a three person General Trust Oversight Board and our Chief Legal Officer is currently the trustee (the “Recovery Trustee”). Costs, expenses and obligations incurred by the General Trust are charged against assets in the General Trust. To conduct its operations and fulfill its responsibilities under the Plan and the trust agreements, the Recovery Trustee may request additional funding from us. Any litigation pending at the time we emerged from Chapter 11 was transferred to the General Trust for resolution and settlement in accordance with the Plan and the order confirming the Plan. We are the beneficiary of the General Trust, subject to the terms of the trust agreement and the Plan. Since the Emergence Date, the General Trust has filed various claims and causes of action against third parties before the Bankruptcy Court, which actions are ongoing. Upon liquidation of the various claims and causes of action held by the General Trust, the proceeds, less certain administrative reserves and expenses, will be transferred to us. It is unknown at this time what proceeds, if any, we will realize from the General Trust’s litigation efforts.

From the Emergence Date through December 31, 2013, the Recovery Trusts have released approximately $5.2 million to us, which is available for our general use, due to a negotiated reduction in certain fees and claims associated with the bankruptcy, as well as a favorable variance in actual expenses versus budgeted expenses. The entire $5.2 million was released prior to December 31, 2012.

Shares Reserved for Unsecured Claims

The Plan provides that certain allowed general unsecured claims be paid with shares of our common stock. On the Emergence Date, 112 claims totaling approximately $73.7 million had been filed in the bankruptcy. Pursuant to the Plan, between the Emergence Date and December 31, 2012, the Recovery Trustee settled 25 claims with an aggregate face amount of $6.6 million for approximately $259 thousand in cash and 20,275 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Plan, during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Recovery Trustee settled an additional 59 claims with an aggregate face amount of $26.9 million for approximately $5.4 million in cash and 208,460 shares of common stock.

As of December 31, 2013, it is estimated that a total of 28 claims totaling approximately $40.2 million remain to be resolved by the Recovery Trustee. The largest remaining proof of claim was filed by the US Government for approximately $22.4 million relating to ongoing litigation concerning a plugging and abandonment obligation in Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Lease OCS-P 0320, comprising part of the Sword Unit in the Santa Barbara Channel, California. We believe the probability of issuing stock to satisfy the full claim amount is remote, as the obligations upon which such proof of claim is asserted are joint and several among all working interest owners, and the Predecessor company owned a 2.41934% working interest in the unit.

The settlement of claims is subject to ongoing litigation and we are unable to predict with certainty how many shares will be required to satisfy all claims. Pursuant to the Plan, allowed claims are settled at a ratio of 54.4 shares per $1,000 of claim. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we have reserved approximately $3.8 million and $8.7 million, respectively, representing the estimated value of claims remaining to be settled which are deemed probable and estimable at period end. A summary of claims is as follows (in thousands, except number of filed claims):

Operating Leases

Within our refining, distribution and marketing segment, we have various cancellable and noncancellable operating leases related to land, vehicles, office and retail facilities and other facilities used in the storage, transportation and sale of crude oil and refined products. The majority of the future lease payments relate to retail stations and facilities used in the storage, transportation and sale of crude oil and refined products. We have operating leases for most of our retail stations with primary terms of up to 32 years, and generally containing renewal options and escalation clauses. Leases for facilities used in the storage, transportation and sale of crude oil and refined products have various expiration dates extending to 2027.

In addition, with our commodity marketing and logistics segment, we have various agreements to lease storage facilities, primarily along the Mississippi River, railcars, inland river tank barges and towboats and other equipment. These leasing agreements have been classified as operating leases for financial reporting purposes and the related rental fees are charged to expense over the lease term as they become payable. The leases generally range in duration of five years or less and contain lease renewal options at fair value. Our railcar leases contain an empty mileage indemnification provision whereby if the empty mileage exceeds the loaded mileage, we are charged for the empty mileage at the rate established by the tariff of the railroad on which the empty miles accrued.

Major Customers

For the year ended December 31, 2013, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated revenue. For the period September 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012, we had one customer that accounted for 96% of our total oil and natural gas sales. During the period from January 1, 2012 to August 31, 2012, our Predecessor had two customers that accounted individually for 59% and 24%, respectively, of its total oil and natural gas sales.

Other

On April 22, 2013, Texadian entered into a terminaling and storage agreement whereby the operator will provide Texadian with storage facilities, access to a marine terminal and pipelines, and railcar offloading services. The initial term of the agreement is for a period of four years and Texadian’s minimum commitment during the initial term is approximately $28 million.

Note 14 - Stockholders’ Equity

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Emergence Date, (i) all shares of our common stock outstanding prior to the Effective Date were cancelled, (ii) each holder of our 7% senior unsecured notes due 2015 and our 3 34% senior convertible notes due 2037 received, in exchange for its total claim (including principal and interest), its pro rata portion of 14,573,608 shares of our common stock, (iii) each holder of an allowed general unsecured claim received, in exchange for its total claim, its pro rata portion of 191,973 shares of our common stock, and (iii) the Lenders under the Loan Agreement received warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 959,213 shares of our common stock (which number of shares may be increased to an aggregate of 1,220,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Issuance Agreement).

Amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Emergence Date, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws were amended and restated in their entirety.

Under the restated certificate of incorporation, the total number of all shares of capital stock that we are authorized to issue is 303 million shares, consisting of 300 million shares of common stock and 3 million shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. The restated certificate of incorporation contains restrictions on the transfer of certain of our securities in order to preserve the net operating loss carryovers, capital loss carryovers, general business credit carryovers, alternative minimum tax credit carryovers and foreign tax credit carryovers, as well as any “net unrealized built-in loss” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code, of us or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof.

On November 25, 2013, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation was further amended to (i) increase the authorized shares of Common Stock from 300,000,000 to 500,000,000 and (ii) revise certain provisions regarding approval by the company’s Board of Directors of transfers of Common Stock by holders of five percent or more of the outstanding Common Stock.

Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no shares of preferred stock were outstanding.

Common Stock

On December 31, 2012, a total of 3,052 shares of our common stock were issued to members of our Board of Directors in lieu of a cash fee for their service on the Board. We recognized compensation costs of approximately $33 thousand relating to these shares, which represent their estimated fair value on the date of grant based on the previous 20 days average trading price of our common stock which ranged from $10.00 to $12.00 per share of common stock. Due to our limited daily trading activity, we believe that this represents a more accurate reflection of the fair value of our common stock.

On September 13, 2013, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which we agreed to sell shares of our common stock at a price of $13.90 per share, as adjusted to reflect the one for ten reverse stock split effective for trading purposes on January 29, 2014 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), in a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”) in reliance upon an exemption from registration pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. Certain purchasers, namely, ZCOF Par Petroleum Holdings, L.L.C., an affiliate of Zell Credit Opportunities Master Fund, L.P. (“ZCOF”), and affiliates of Whitebox Advisors, LLC (“Whitebox”), each owned 10% or more of the our common stock directly or through affiliates prior to the execution of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and are deemed to be our affiliates as a result of such ownership. ZCOF and Whitebox have representatives on our board of directors.

On September 25, 2013, we completed the Private Placement and issued approximately 14.4 million shares of common stock resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to us of approximately $200 million. We did not engage any investment advisors with respect to the Private Placement, and no finders’ fees or commissions were paid to any party in connection therewith. The proceeds from the Private Placement were used to fund a portion of the purchase price of the HIE acquisition.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we issued approximately 208,512 shares of our common stock for settlement of bankruptcy claims, approximately 183,390 shares due to the exercise of Warrants and approximately 5,585 shares of unrestricted common stock to certain key employees and directors. We recognized compensation costs of approximately $90 thousand relating to these shares, which represent their estimated fair value on the date of grant based on the previous 20 days average trading price of our common stock which ranged from $12.22 to $19.87 per share of common stock.

Registration Rights Agreements

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) providing the stockholders party thereto (the “Stockholders”) with certain registration rights.

The Registration Rights Agreement states that, among other things, at any time after the earlier of the consummation of a qualified public offering or 60 days after the Effective Date, any Stockholder or group of Stockholders that, together with its or their affiliates, holds more than fifteen percent of the Registrable Shares (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), will have the right to require us to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 or S-3, or any other appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for a public offering of all or part of its Registrable Shares (each a “Demand Registration”), by delivery of written notice to the company (each, a “Demand Request”).

Within 90 days after receiving the Demand Request, we must file with the SEC the registration statement, on any form for which we then qualify and which is available for the sale of the Registrable Shares in accordance with the intended methods of distribution thereof, with respect to the Demand Registration. We are required to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after such filing. We will not be obligated (i) to effect a Demand Registration within 90 days after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration, other than for a shelf registration, or (ii) to effect a Demand Registration unless the Demand Request is for a number of Registrable Shares with an expected market value that is equal to at least

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

 

(x) $15 million as of the date of such Demand Request or is for one hundred percent of the demanding Stockholder’s Registrable Shares with respect to any Demand Registration made on Form S-1 or (y) $5 million as of the date of such Demand Request with respect to any Demand Registration made on Form S-3.

Upon receipt of any Demand Request, we are required to give written notice, within ten (10) days of such Demand Registration, to all other holders of Registrable Shares, who will have the right to elect to include in such Demand Registration such portion of their Registrable Shares as they may request, subject to certain exceptions.

In addition, subject to certain exceptions, if we propose to register any class of common stock for sale to the public, we are required, subject to certain conditions, to include all Registrable Shares with respect to which we have received written requests for inclusion.

The rights of a holder of Registrable Shares may be transferred, assigned or otherwise conveyed on to any transferee or assignee of such Registrable Shares, subject to applicable state and federal securities laws and regulations, our Certificate of Incorporation and the Stockholders Agreement. We will be responsible for expenses relating to the registrations contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement.

The registration rights granted in the Registration Rights Agreement are subject to customary indemnification and contribution provisions, as well as customary restrictions such as suspension periods and, if a registration is for an underwritten offering, limitations on the number of shares to be included in the underwritten offering imposed by the managing underwriter.

In connection with the closing of the sale of the Private Placement, we entered into an additional registration rights agreement with the purchasers of the shares. Under this registration rights agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement relating to the shares of common stock with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days after the closing date of the sale which would be declared effective within 180 days of the closing date of the sale. We also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective until the earliest to occur of (i) the disposition of all registrable securities, (ii) the availability under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for each holder of registrable securities to immediately freely resell such registrable securities without volume restrictions or (iii) the third anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement.

This registration rights agreement also provides the right for a holder or group of holders of more than $50 million of registrable securities to demand that we conduct an underwritten public offering of the registrable securities. However, the demanding holders are limited to a total of three such underwritten offerings, with no more than one demand request for an underwritten offering made in any 365 day period. Additionally, this registration rights agreement contains customary indemnification rights and obligations for both us and the holders of registrable securities.

If this registration statement (i) is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the applicable deadline (ii) is not declared effective by the SEC prior to the applicable deadline, or (iii) does not remain effective for the applicable effectiveness period described above then from the that date until cured, we must pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount in cash equal to 0.25% of the purchaser’s allocated purchase price per calendar month, not to exceed 0.75% of the allocated purchase price. We will accrue an obligation for this registration rights agreement when it is probable that an obligation has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably determined.

Incentive Plan

On December 20, 2012, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the Par Petroleum Corporation 2012 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). Under the Incentive Plan, the Board, or a committee of the Board, may issue up to 1.6 million shares of our common stock, or incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options or restricted stock to our employee or directors, or other individuals providing services to us. In general, the terms of any award issue will be determined by the committee upon grant. In addition, in December 2012, we approved a new compensation plan for our directors. Our directors receive an annual retainer of $50 thousand, paid quarterly in cash or shares of our common stock at the election of the director. In addition, the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual retainer of $15 thousand and the members of the Audit Committee (other than the

Chairman) receive an annual retainer of $5 thousand, such retainers paid quarterly in cash or shares of our common stock at the election of the director. There are no fees for the members of any other committee or for attendance at meetings. Our directors are also entitled to receive an annual grant of restricted stock on the last day of each calendar year with a target value of $75 thousand, with the number of shares determined by the 60-day volume weighted average share price as of the day prior to the grant date.

On December 31, 2012, a total of 219,183 shares of restricted common stock were granted to members of the Board of Directors and certain employees. During the year ended December 31, 2013, an additional 355,481 shares of restricted stock were granted to certain employees. Restricted stock granted to members of the Board vests in full after one year from the date of grant, while most restricted stock granted to employees vests on a pro-rata basis over five years. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the following activity occurred under our Incentive Plan (in thousands, except per share amounts):

For the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized compensation costs of approximately $1.2 million related to restricted stock awards. As of December 31, 2013, there is approximately $8.1 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock awards, which are expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 4.37 years. The grant date fair value was estimated using the previous 20 days average trading price of our common stock.

Predecessor Stock Compensation Plans

On December 22, 2009, the Predecessor’s stockholders approved its 2009 Performance and Equity Plan (the “2009 Plan”). On June 21, 2011, the Predecessor granted 489,227 shares of non-vested common stock to certain employees. The shares vested in full on the earlier of a change in control or July 1, 2012. In conjunction with this grant, the Predecessor agreed to establish a “floor” price for the value of the shares on the date of vesting equal to the value of the shares on the grant date ($5.50 per share). In the event that the market price of the shares on the date of vesting was lower than the floor price on the date of vesting, the difference would be paid to the employees in cash. The compensation expense for the shares consists of a fixed equity component ($5.50 per share) and a variable liability component (based on the difference between the market price of the shares, if lower, and the floor price of the shares), both of which are included as a component of general and administrative expense in the accompanying Predecessor consolidated statement of operations. The Predecessor recognized stock compensation expense of approximately $1.9 million for the period from January 1, 2012 through August 31, 2012, which is included in general and administrative expenses. Under the terms of the Plan, the Predecessor’s stock compensation plans, and all awards issued under such plans, were canceled.

A summary of the stock option activity under the Predecessor’s various plans and related information for the period from January 1 through August 31, 2012 follows:

Note 15 - Income Taxes

Under the Plan of Reorganization, our prepetition debt securities, primarily prepetition notes, were extinguished. Absent an exception, a debtor recognizes cancellation of debt income (“CODI”) upon discharge of its outstanding indebtedness for an amount of consideration that is less than its adjusted issue price. Tax regulations provide that a debtor in a bankruptcy case may exclude CODI from income but must reduce certain of its tax attributes by the amount of any CODI realized as a result of the consummation of a plan of reorganization. The amount of CODI realized by a taxpayer is the adjusted issue price of any indebtedness discharged less the sum of (i) the amount of cash paid, (ii) the issue price of any new indebtedness issued and (iii) the fair market value of any other consideration, including equity, issued. As a result of the market value of our equity upon emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, we were able to retain a significant portion of our NOLs and other “Tax Attributes” after reduction of the Tax Attributes for CODI realized on emergence from Chapter 11 and certain prior interest payments on debt converted to equity. Our NOLs have been reduced by approximately $225 million of CODI as a result of emergence from Chapter 11.

Pursuant to the Plan, on the Emergence Date, the existing equity interests of the Predecessor were extinguished. New equity interests were issued to creditors in connection with the terms of the Plan, resulting in an ownership change as defined under Section 382 of the Code. Section 382 generally places a limit on the amount of net operating losses and other tax attributes arising before the change that may be used to offset taxable income after the ownership change. We believe, however, that we will qualify for an exception to the general limitation rules. This exception under Code Section 382(l)(5) provides for substantially less restrictive limitations on our net operating losses; however the net operating losses are eliminated should another ownership change occur within two years. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation places restrictions upon the ability of the equity interest holders to transfer their ownership in us. These restrictions are designed to provide us with the maximum assurance that another ownership change does not occur that could adversely impact our net operating loss carry forwards.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future results of operations, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income, significant book losses during the current and prior periods, and projections for future results of operations over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, among other factors, management concluded that we did not meet the “more likely than not” requirement of ASC 740 in order to recognize deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance has been recorded for the full amount of our net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, no adjustments were recognized for uncertain tax benefits.

Our net taxable income must be apportioned to various states based upon the income tax laws of the states in which we derive our revenue. Our NOL carry forwards will not always be available to offset taxable income apportioned to the various states. The states from which Texadian’s revenues and HIE’s revenues are derived are not the same states in which our NOLs were incurred; therefore we expect to incur state tax liabilities on the net income of Texadian’s and HIE’s operations.

During 2014 and thereafter, we will continue to assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets based on consideration of actual and projected operating results and tax planning strategies. Should actual operating results improve, the amount of the deferred tax asset considered more likely than not to be realizable could be increased.

We have net operating loss carryovers as of December 31, 2013 of $1.3 billion for federal income tax purposes. If not utilized, the tax net operating loss carryforwards will expire during 2027 through 2032. Our capital loss carryovers as of December 31, 2013 are $74.7 million. If not utilized, these carryovers will expire during 2015 and 2016. We also have Alternative Minimum Tax Credit Carryovers of $0.8 million. These credits do not expire; however, we must first generate regular taxable income before they can be used. We will not likely generate regular taxable income utilized our net operating loss carry over.

Note 18 - Related Party Transactions

Certain of our stockholders who are lenders under the Loan Agreement received Warrants exercisable for shares of common stock in connection with such loan (see Note 10 - Debt).

Certain of our stockholders and their affiliates who are owners of 10% or more of our common shares participated in the Stock Sale (see Note 14 - Stockholders’ Equity).

On September 17, 2013, we entered into letter agreements (the “Services Agreements”) with Equity Group Investments, an affiliate of ZCOF (“EGI”), and Whitebox. Pursuant to the Services Agreements, EGI and Whitebox agreed to provide us with ongoing strategic, advisory and consulting services that may include, (i) advice on financing structures and our relationship with lenders and bankers, (ii) advice regarding public and private offerings of debt and equity securities, (iii) advice regarding asset dispositions, acquisitions or other asset management strategies, (iv) advice regarding potential business acquisitions, dispositions or combinations involving us or our affiliates, or (v) such other advice directly related or ancillary to the above strategic, advisory and consulting services as may be reasonably requested by us.

EGI and Whitebox will not receive a fee for the provision of the strategic, advisory or consulting services set forth in the Services Agreements, but may be periodically reimbursed by us, upon request, for (i) travel and out of pocket expenses, provided that in the event that such expenses exceed $50 thousand in the aggregate with respect to any single proposed matter, EGI or Whitebox, as applicable, will obtain our consent prior to incurring additional costs, and (ii) provided that we provide prior consent to their engagement with respect to any particular proposed matter, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, accountants and other professionals incurred in connection with EGI’s or Whitebox’s, as applicable, services under the Services Agreements. In consideration of the services provided by EGI and Whitebox under the Services Agreements, we agreed to indemnity each of them for certain losses incurred by them relating to or arising out of the Services Agreements or the services provided thereunder.

The Services Agreements have a term of one year and will be automatically extended for successive one-year periods unless terminated, by either party, at least 60 days prior to any extension date. There were no significant costs incurred related to this agreement during 2013.

Note 19 - Reorganization Under Chapter 11, Fresh-Start Reporting and the Effects of the Plan

In December 2011 and January 2012, Delta and its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Delta and its subsidiaries included in the bankruptcy petitions are collectively referred to as the “Debtors.”

In March 2012, the Bankruptcy Court approved the procedures relating to plans of reorganization as well as asset sales. Following completion of the asset sales, the Debtors obtained approval from the Bankruptcy Court to proceed with Laramie Energy II, LLC (“Laramie”) as the sponsor of a plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). In June 2012, Delta entered into a Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with a new joint venture formed by Delta and Laramie, Piceance Energy LLC (“Piceance Energy”), and Laramie to effect the transactions contemplated by Plan.

The Plan was declared effective on August 31, 2012 (the “Emergence Date”). On the Emergence Date, Delta consummated the transaction contemplated by the Contribution Agreement and each of Delta and Laramie contributed to Piceance Energy their respective assets in the Piceance Basin. Piceance Energy is owned 66.66% by Laramie and 33.34% by Delta. At the closing, Piceance Energy entered into a new credit agreement, borrowed $100 million under that agreement, and distributed approximately $72.6 million net of settlements to the company and

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)

 

approximately $24.9 million to Laramie. The company used its distribution to pay bankruptcy expenses and to repay its secured debt. The company also entered into a new credit facility and borrowed $13 million under that facility at closing, and used those funds primarily to pay bankruptcy claims and expenses.

Following the reorganization, Par retained its interest in the Point Arguello Unit offshore California and other miscellaneous assets and certain tax attributes, including significant net operating loss carryforwards. Based upon the Plan as confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, Delta’s creditors were issued approximately 14.8 million shares of common stock, and Delta’s former stockholders received no consideration under the Plan.

Contemporaneously with the consummation of the Contribution Agreement, the company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a Limited Liability company Agreement with Laramie that will govern the operations of Piceance Energy.

On the Emergence Date, Par adopted fresh-start reporting resulting in us becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements for periods prior to August 31, 2012 reflect the operations of Delta prior to reorganization (hereinafter also referred to as the “Predecessor”) and are not comparable to the consolidated financial statements presented on or after August 31, 2012. Fresh-start reporting was required upon emergence from Chapter 11 because (i) holders of voting shares immediately before confirmation of the Plan received less than 50% of the emerging entity and (ii) the reorganization value of our assets immediately before confirmation of the Plan was less than our post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. Fresh-start reporting results in a new basis of accounting and reflects the allocation of our estimated fair value to underlying assets and liabilities. The effects of the implementation of the Plan and fresh-start adjustments are reflected in the results of operations of the Predecessor in the eight month period ended August 31, 2012. Our estimates of fair value are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies beyond our reasonable control. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates, assumptions, valuations, appraisals and financial projections will be realized, and actual results could vary materially. Moreover, the market value of our common stock may differ materially from the equity valuation for accounting purposes.

In the application of fresh-start reporting, a successor entity must determine a value to be assigned to the equity of the emerging company as of the date of adoption of fresh-start reporting, which for us is August 31, 2012, the date the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11. To facilitate this calculation, we first determined the enterprise value of the Successor and the individual components of the opening balance sheet. The most significant item is our 33.34% interest in Piceance Energy, the value of which was estimated to be approximately $105.3 million as of the Emergence Date. We also considered the fair value of the other remaining assets. See Note 11 - Fair Value Measurements for a detailed discussion of fair value and the valuation techniques.

The estimated enterprise value and the equity value are highly dependent on the achievement of the future financial results contemplated in the projections that were set forth in the Plan. The estimates and assumptions made in the valuation are inherently subject to significant uncertainties. The primary assumptions for which there is a reasonable possibility of the occurrence of a variation that would have significantly affected the reorganization value include the assumptions regarding our direct ownership of estimated proved reserves, our indirect ownership of estimated proved reserves through our equity ownership in Piceance Energy, operating expenses, the amount and timing of capital expenditures and the discount rate utilized.

Fresh-start reporting reflects the value of the Successor as determined in the confirmed Plan. Under fresh-start reporting, our asset values are remeasured and allocated based on their respective fair values in conformity with the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The reorganization values approximated the fair values of the identifiable net assets. Liabilities existing as of the Effective Date, other than deferred taxes and derivatives, were recorded at the present value of amounts expected to be paid using appropriate risk adjusted interest rates. Deferred taxes and derivatives were determined in conformity with applicable accounting standards. Predecessor accumulated depreciation, accumulated amortization and retained deficit were eliminated. Under the Plan, our priority non-tax claims and secured claims are unimpaired in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code. Each general unsecured claim and noteholder claims received its pro rata share of new common stock of Par in full satisfaction of its claims.

(a) Reflects the contribution of certain of our oil and gas assets and related prepaid expenses and asset retirement obligations to Piceance Energy in exchange for cash and a 33.34% interest in Piceance Energy.
(b) Reflects the extinguishment of secured debt in exchange for common stock of the Successor. On the Emergence Date, we issued 14,573,608 shares of our common stock and warrants to acquire 959,213 shares of our common stock to the holders of our secured debt or their affiliates. We estimated the fair value of our common stock to be $7.00 per share on the Emergence Date. Accordingly, we recorded a gain on the settlement of secured debt within Reorganization items of approximately $166.1 million on the Predecessor’s consolidated statement of operations in the period from January 1, 2012 through August 31, 2012.
(c) Reflects the Successor drawing $13 million under the Loan Agreement (see Note 10 - Debt) to repay amounts outstanding under the DIP Credit Facility with those proceeds and cash from contribution of assets to Piceance Energy.
(d) Reflects the settlement of other claims with common stock of Successor and cash. On the Emergence Date, we issued 191,973 shares of our common stock to various creditors. We estimated the fair value of our common stock to be $7.00 per share on the Emergence Date. Accordingly, we recorded a gain on settlement of liabilities within Reorganization items of approximately $2.2 million on the Predecessor’s consolidated statement of operations in the period from January 1, 2012 through August 31, 2012.

Note 20 - Subsequent Events

On the January 23, 2014 and in connection with the consummation of the Reverse Stock Split as described in Note 1-Overview, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into an Eleventh Amendment to our Loan Agreement pursuant to which the Lender consented to Fractional Share Cash Payments.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every ten pre-split shares of Common Stock issued prior to January 29, 2014, the effective date of the reverse stock split for trading purposes, were exchanged for one post-split share of Common Stock, with fractional shares paid in cash at an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the OTCQB Marketplace on January 23, 2014, by (b) the fraction of one share owned by the stockholder. Further, the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding was reduced from approximately 301,141,520 on January 23, 2014 to approximately 30,114,352. The number of authorized shares of Common Stock will remain at 500,000,000 and the par value of the Common Stock will remain at $0.01 per share. All references in the financial statements to the number of shares of common stock or warrants, price per share and weighted average number of common stock outstanding prior to the 1:10 reverse stock split have been adjusted to reflect this stock split on a retroactive basis, unless otherwise noted. No adjustments have been made to the share or per share amounts of our Predecessor.

At December 31, 2011, the company had $8,770 of suspended exploratory well cost subject to evaluation. Upon the emergency from Bankruptcy on August 31, 2012 all capitalized oil and natural gas property costs, including suspended exploratory well cost, were transferred to Piceance in exchange for cash and a 33.34% equity interest in Piceance. For the period from September 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 neither the company or Piceance incurred exploratory well costs so no amounts were capitalized or expensed during these respective periods. Accordingly, there were no suspended exploratory well costs at December 31, 2012 and 2013 that were being evaluated.

Note 22 - Information Regarding Proved Oil and Gas Reserves (Unaudited)

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proved crude oil and natural gas reserves. Crude oil and natural gas reserve engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of crude oil and natural gas that cannot be precisely measured. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling, testing and production subsequent to the date of the estimate may justify revision of such estimate. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from the quantities of crude oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Estimates of the company’s oil and natural gas reserves and present values as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and August 31, 2012 were prepared by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc., independent reserve engineers.

A summary of changes in estimated quantities of proved reserves for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for respective periods in 2012 is as follows:
